Electronic rim lock

[Mosh]

Does an electronic rim lock (on a front door) automatically fail to safety? Does it need to be tested / serviced as part of a fire plan?

All the ones I have seen you have to press the red button which energises a coil which allows you to open the door, so that means  they are fail secure.

Looks electro-mechanical and not usually allowed on exits, absolutely not if not failsafe. 

Depending on the type of override if it was fail safe there are maintenance/testing obligations

Thanks for your replies. I guess i'll have to find out more details about it.
