At Hanson and Beards, we prioritise your safety through our commitment to manufacturing fire doors that meet and exceed the stringent requirements set by legislation.
In this page, we delve into the crucial aspects of fire door compliance and the significance of third-party certifications.
Manufacturers have an obligation to prove the performance of their fire doors in resisting the passage and spread of fire.
If you are procuring fire doors, it’s essential to request evidence from the manufacturer, supplier, or installer regarding the door’s performance.
Building regulations outlines the functional requirements for fire safety, and Approved Document B provides guidance on meeting these requirements.
Our doors adhere to British and European standards, ensuring the necessary levels of fire resistance and smoke control based on their specific locations within a building.
This legislation, applicable to existing buildings in England and Wales, mandates compliance with
stringent fire safety requirements. Responsible persons must ensure fire doors are maintained properly. Periodic inspections are crucial, identifying the suitability of doors integral to the overall fire safety strategy.
We choose third-party certification to demonstrate the design, performance, manufacturing process, and quality assurance of our fire doors.
This independent auditing process, such as the BM TRADA Q-Mark scheme, guarantees consistency and ongoing compliance, providing additional reassurance beyond legal requirements.
Under the BM TRADA Q-Mark scheme, we commit to elevating the standard of fire door manufacture, ensuring compliance with the original product specifications, maximizing product service life, and offering peace of mind through third-party verification.
This certification body also extends its Q-Mark scheme to cover fire door installation and maintenance.
