Norwegian term or phrase: brannsluse

I thought that this was 'smokeproof enclosure' but I believe these are restricted to stairwells. Any other ideas would be appreciated.

Context: Dør til brannsluse.

Ventilasjon av brannsluser skal ikke foregå gjennom åpninger til de rom som betjenes av slusen.

Sorry, this is incorrect. This term refers to a membrane, not the space.
