with no more context, I'd say that something like "fire shutter" is probably the best we are going to be able to do here

Fire Shutter

Since the word "vlamkap" seems near to non-existent on the web I wonder if it might be the result of a bad translation out of Chinese...

Anyway, since the topic is a report on the fire-resistance of a door, here you have the European guidelines concerning tests of fire-resistance: Scroll down to: "Brandweerstand (Deurelementen en afsluitelementen)" http://www.wtcb.be/homepage/index.cfm?cat=services&sub=stand...

Looking at the context you provided, "fire shutter" seemed the only reasonable answer.

Hope it helps!

flame-retardant hood

Als vlamkamp ´vlamvertragende kap´ betekent, dan zou deze vertaling een oplossing kunnen zijn. Ik besef dat het niet helemaal dezelfde context is (het voorbeeld gaat niet over een deur).
Zie voorbeelden en link.
Example sentence:

The flame-retardant hood incorporates a large visor for maximum peripheral vision. draeger.it De vlambestendige kap is voorzien van een groot venster voor een maximaal zicht rondom.
