Fire Doorset Certification
Fire doorsets are unlike normal doorsets, they are complex systems of components, tested and third party certificated by independent parties. Door-Stop fire doorsets are certificated by Warringtonfire under the following certificate numbers:
- Certifire CF 5906 (Certificated for Fire)
- Certisecure CS 5112/ Certifire CF 5863 (Certificated for Security and Fire)
The doorsets are tested to BS 476: Part 22 or BS EN 1635-1:2014 and third party certificated by Cerifire (Warringtonfire) as FD30 doorsets. Door-Stop fire doorsets are certificated for 30 minutes fire integrity and only for use when fire insulation is required if the doorset has less than 20% of un-insulating glass, including any toplight.
Door-Stop fire doorsets must be installed strictly in accordance with the certificate, data sheet and the installation instructions to achieve FD30 performance. Failure to adequately install the doorsets will result in a failure to meet the certification and/or invalidate the warranties.
Door-Stop fire doorsets are supplied with an installation guide that includes installation instructions, information on the type of components required and the level of competence required for installation and inspection of the doorset. It is critical that you read, understand and follow the instructions in full to avoid invalidating the certification and/or the product warranties.
It is your responsibility to follow the guide and certificate in full and to ensure that the doorsets are installed by a competent installer, using the correct materials to the exact specification. If you fail to follow the instructions, this could impact on the performance of the doorset in a fire and will invalidate the certification of the fire doorset and the warranties provided.
It is the building designer's responsibility and not that of Door-Stop, to ensure that the correct doorset specification is used for the particular development, construction or building type used in the building.
