September 30, 20205 yr comment_18140 Hi, I think I know the answer to this one, but I’m after another opinion. As a joinery manufacturer, can I manufacture fire doors, even if I am not certified by certifire/qmark/etc? Can i just follow the door blank manufacturers field of application specifications, ie. glazing system, intumescent strips, specified ironmongery, to the letter, and offer this as a nominal fire door? TIA Report
September 30, 20205 yr Author comment_18141 I know the final door won’t be certified under any scheme, but will this please the gods of fire door regulations? I will of course supply an OandM pack, and any fire certificates supplied with the blank, glass, seals, ironmongery. Report
October 1, 20205 yr comment_18150 No you can't make a fire door and offer it as 'Nominal or Notional'. If you put a fire door on the market it must have evidence of fire resistance performance but that's not a problem because you can use the evidence provided by the door blank manufacturer. Clearly, you have a duty to fabricate and install the door in strict accordance with the door blank manufacturer's technical manual and fire resistance assessment report. Report
