What is an NFPA 105 compliance checklist?
Quick answer
An NFPA 105 compliance checklist is the structured inspection used to assess smoke door assemblies and other opening protectives against the applicable edition of NFPA 105 that health & safety teams use to check the key inspection points, assign owners to any failures, and close them with photo proof. Completed in InspectWrk, it is timestamped, works offline, and exports as an audit-ready health & safety report for NFPA 105 (Standard for Smoke Door Assemblies and Other Opening Protectives), in the edition adopted by the authority having jurisdiction and the adopted building or fire code and, where related, NFPA 80 for fire door assemblies.
An NFPA 105 compliance checklist is the structured inspection used to assess smoke door assemblies and other opening protectives against the applicable edition of NFPA 105 that health & safety teams use to check smoke door and opening details, smoke door assembly, inspection and testing, smoke dampers, smoke-protective curtain assemblies, and findings, corrective actions and sign-off, capture photo evidence, and track corrective actions to closure. Its job is to assess smoke door assemblies and other opening protectives against the applicable edition of NFPA 105.
Why are NFPA 105 compliance inspections still chased on WhatsApp?
Fire door and smoke door inspectors and Facilities and life-safety teams still miss unresolved NFPA compliance defects and repeat findings when rounds are ticked without photo evidence on each NFPA compliance check.
Without a single inspection record, teams reconstruct the evidence from phones instead of proving NFPA 105 (Standard for Smoke Door Assemblies and Other Opening Protectives), in the edition adopted by the authority having jurisdiction and the adopted building or fire code and, where related, NFPA 80 for fire door assemblies readiness.
Before and After InspectWrk
Before InspectWrk
- Toolbox talks, JSAs, and near-miss reports are logged verbally on the radio or on paper at end of shift.
- NFPA 105 compliance checks are ticked on paper without photo evidence per finding.
- Safety performance is visible only after the corrective window has already closed.
After InspectWrk
- Fire door and smoke door inspectors complete the inspection in the app with photo evidence at the NFPA 105 compliance, even offline.
- Managers see open findings, closure status, and NFPA 105 (Standard for Smoke Door Assemblies and Other Opening Protectives), in the edition adopted by the authority having jurisdiction and the adopted building or fire code and, where related, NFPA 80 for fire door assemblies evidence live on one dashboard.
- Overdue corrective actions escalate automatically so the fix happens before the next near-miss becomes an incident.
Why is an NFPA 105 compliance checklist important?
It helps fire door and smoke door inspectors and supervisors keep health & safety work consistent, safe, and auditable, with the evidence needed for NFPA 105 (Standard for Smoke Door Assemblies and Other Opening Protectives), in the edition adopted by the authority having jurisdiction and the adopted building or fire code and, where related, NFPA 80 for fire door assemblies:
- Cover the full inspection: structured checks across smoke door and opening details, smoke door assembly, inspection and testing, and smoke dampers surface unresolved NFPA compliance defects and repeat findings before they reach handover, audit, or the next shift.
- Document health & safety findings with the right proof: capture photo evidence on each NFPA compliance check on every issue so nothing rests on memory.
- Close health & safety issues instead of just logging them: assign corrective actions with owners and due dates, then verify the fix before sign-off.
- Stay audit-ready: keep one timestamped record for NFPA 105 (Standard for Smoke Door Assemblies and Other Opening Protectives), in the edition adopted by the authority having jurisdiction and the adopted building or fire code and, where related, NFPA 80 for fire door assemblies you can export instead of rebuilding it from scattered photos and spreadsheets.
What should be included in an NFPA 105 compliance checklist?
A complete NFPA 105 compliance checklist works through smoke door and opening details, smoke door assembly, inspection and testing, smoke dampers, smoke-protective curtain assemblies, and findings, corrective actions and sign-off, then records inspection context, scored checkpoints, and evidence with corrective actions:
Inspection context
Record where and when the inspection runs:
- Site, health & safety location, and asset identification
- Inspector, date, and the health & safety areas or assets in scope
- Reference numbers or schedules linked to the checklist
Checkpoints and scoring
Define what each checkpoint verifies and how results are scored:
- Smoke Door / Opening Details
- Smoke Door Assembly
- Inspection and Testing
- Smoke Dampers
- Smoke-Protective Curtain Assemblies
- Findings, Corrective Actions and Sign-Off
- 20 fields aligned to the checklist
Evidence and corrective actions
Make every finding traceable and actionable:
- Capture photo evidence on each NFPA compliance check on failed or critical items
- Corrective actions with owners and due dates for health & safety teams
- Sign-off, completion status, and follow-up notes
How do teams use an NFPA 105 compliance checklist?
Follow these steps to run the NFPA 105 compliance checklist:
- Fill in the NFPA 105 compliance header: inspector, site, date, and areas in scope.
- Work through smoke door and opening details, smoke door assembly, inspection and testing, smoke dampers, smoke-protective curtain assemblies, and findings, corrective actions and sign-off in order, recording pass, fail, or N/A.
- Attach photo evidence on each NFPA compliance check wherever a failure or observation needs proof.
- Raise actions for unresolved NFPA compliance defects and repeat findings with owners and deadlines before sign-off.
- Review the NFPA 105 compliance summary, share the report, and keep the record for your audit trail.

Book a Free DemoIt is scoped to the scheduled cadence and controls that fire door and smoke door inspectors, facilities and life-safety teams run, not a one-off handover walk. It prompts smoke door and opening details, smoke door assembly, inspection and testing, smoke dampers, smoke-protective curtain assemblies, and findings, corrective actions and sign-off, watching for unresolved NFPA compliance defects and repeat findings, records pass, fail, or N/A with photo evidence on each NFPA compliance check on critical items, and raises corrective actions with owners before sign-off. Run in InspectWrk, the record is timestamped and rolls into trend reports so repeat failures surface before the next audit.
They work through each checkpoint to assess smoke door assemblies and other opening protectives against the applicable edition of NFPA 105, confirm the required controls are in place, and capture photo evidence on each NFPA compliance check on anything that fails or needs proof. Priority failure modes include unresolved NFPA compliance defects and repeat findings. Each checkpoint takes pass, fail, or N/A, and a failed item stays open until the fix is verified.
It expects photo evidence on each NFPA compliance check on failed or critical items, so findings rest on proof rather than memory. Records support NFPA 105 (Standard for Smoke Door Assemblies and Other Opening Protectives), in the edition adopted by the authority having jurisdiction and the adopted building or fire code and, where related, NFPA 80 for fire door assemblies, and every photo, note, and sign-off stays attached to the inspection instead of living in chat threads.
The NFPA 105 compliance checklist covers smoke door and opening details, smoke door assembly, inspection and testing, smoke dampers, smoke-protective curtain assemblies, and findings, corrective actions and sign-off. On each checkpoint, fire door and smoke door inspectors record pass, fail, or N/A, add a photo on anything that needs proof, and raise a corrective action with an owner and due date. Run in InspectWrk, the inspection is timestamped, traceable to whoever completed it, and exports as a single health & safety report aligned to NFPA 105 (Standard for Smoke Door Assemblies and Other Opening Protectives), in the edition adopted by the authority having jurisdiction and the adopted building or fire code and, where related, NFPA 80 for fire door assemblies.
