This standard relates to the fire resistance of door, shutter and openable window assemblies and elements of building hardware. Compliance indicates the bracket has met specific fire safety testing requirements.

Troubleshooting
Bracket feels loose after installation
Ensure all three screws securing the rose base to the wall are fully tightened. Check that appropriate wall plugs were used for the wall type and that the pilot holes were drilled correctly.
Handrail is not securely attached to the bracket
Verify that the correct type and length of screws are being used to attach the handrail to the bracket's flat end. Ensure the handrail itself is not damaged or warped.
Gold finish appears tarnished
Clean the surface with a soft, damp cloth. If tarnish persists, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for metal finishes, and rinse thoroughly before drying.
