No further changes to prEN 14351-1say experts
Product Standard prEN 14351-1:2005 covering windows and pedestrian doorsets without fire resistance is unlikely to undergo any further changes in technical content.
"The benefits of belonging to the Q-Mark scheme are many," comments Anne Lewis of Norfolk Frames.
"It gives assurance that the product will perform to the standards demanded by the independent fire testing procedure and it gives manufacturers peace of mind knowing that they have delivered to the appropriate standards of performance".
"The service offered by BM TRADA is invaluable in helping us to maintain the quality and performance for which the company's products are renowned".
Although third party certification is not mandatory under the Building Regulations, Norfolk Frames insists that its City Collection of composite doors are certified by BM TRADA to meet the requirements of BS 476: Part 22: 1987, as well as achieving GRP 30 minute fire door test requirements.
This entitles the Q-Mark identification plug to be placed on the doors, assuring end users, specifiers and building control officers that the doors correctly combine all critical components.
BM TRADA is a leading multi sector certification body accredited by UKAS and was originally established to develop quality assurance in the construction sector and now offers a portfolio of services that includes certification for quality, environmental and security, as well as health and safety management systems.
