Having been subject to an extensive, robust, ongoing testing and certification programme, the market-leading brands for door core and door blank products, Strebord® and Stredor®, have been incorporated into a doorset system that is certified by BM Trada Q Mark for both Fire and Enhanced Security door schemes. In addition, Stredor® has now also been incorporated into a doorset system which is certified by the Certifire and Certisecure schemes.
These systems provide our customers with additional support - particularly when working in the flat entrance door market - to ensure there is no conflict between the Building Regulations for fire safety (Part B) and security (Part Q) when specifiers require both to be met. Manufacturing doorsets from either of these fully-tested systems complies with both fire and security requirements. Furthermore, manufacturers can certify the doorsets produced under the BM Trada Q Mark third-party product certification scheme, providing clients and end users with additional confidence that their properties and loved ones are safe and secure.
A joint publication: ‘A Guide for Selecting Flat Entrance Doorsets; A publication for housing associations, landlords, building owners and local authorities in England’, relates to new doorsets and is the product of DHF (Door & Hardware Federation), Secured by Design (SBD) and the Fire Industry Association (FIA).
The publication brings together the best collaborative advice available from the industry in one straightforward document to highlight the fundamental issues of fire safety and security for those selecting fire doorsets.
