Our fire door inspections are conducted in compliance with BS476 and BS8214, ensuring that your fire door is compliant with current safety standards.
Here’s a brief explanation of these important standards:
BS476 is the UK-only standard that outlines the procedures for conducting fire tests on building materials and structures, determining what constitutes a pass for such tests. It’s divided into multiple parts, each focusing on different aspects of fire safety testing.
BS8214 provides guidance on the specification, installation, and maintenance of timber-based fire doors. This standard is designed to ensure that fire door assemblies perform effectively, helping to contain fire and smoke.
When we carry out a domestic fire door inspection, our focus is on assessing whether the door is ready to perform its intended function in the event of a fire.
Once we've completed the fire door survey, we will produce a comprehensive Fire Door Report detailing any issues with all doors identified as fire doors, whether they are accessible for testing or not. This report will be an integral part of your Fire Risk records, ensuring you are informed of the status of your fire door inspection services.
