The importance of fire door maintenance will be demonstrated on each day of the show when BM TRADA carries out a detailed fire door survey. Visitors will be able to witness first-hand the types of remedial work that often needs to be undertaken on fire doors to ensure they continue to provide the required period of fire resistance and how this can be completed using approved repair techniques developed specifically for the BM TRADA Q-Mark Fire Door Maintenance third party certification scheme.
On the afternoon of Tuesday June 16th visitors to the exhibition will be able to witness a live 30 minute fire test. The test will be broadcast live from BM TRADA’s fire testing facility in High Wycombe straight into the main Firex Seminar theatre, offering viewers an opportunity to see for real the crucial role played by fire doors in saving lives and property.
On the morning of Tuesday June 16th BM TRADA will also be holding a free half-day seminar, Fire Doors Explained Understanding the essentials, for delegates who book ahead via email [email protected]. Following the seminar, delegates will be invited to join a guided tour of the passive fire protection demonstration zone.
In addition to the fire safety displays and demonstrations, BM TRADA will also be explaining the important role that third party certification plays and will be providing details of its Q-Mark third party certification schemes for fire door manufacture, installation and maintenance, as well as the installation of fire stopping elements.
All the activities should appeal to a wide audience from a wide variety of industry sectors and professions including contractors, facilities and estates managers, health sector, hotel & leisure, housing associations, insurance underwriters, local authorities, retail and those fulfilling the role of the Responsible Person’ under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order.
