Delegates praise 'Timber Fire Doors Explained'

Chiltern International Fire and sister company BM TRADA Certification continue to include a full-scale fire door test in their popular 'Timber Fire Doors Explained' training days.

In the past two years alone, some 250 delegates have attended the courses and often recommend them to others.

Colin Whitehead, Operations Manager with Youngs Doors in Norwich, commented: 'To have the function of fire doors explained, and to witness a full scale fire performance test, by a UKAS-accredited independent body, are vital elements to enable the specifier, the manufacturer and the installer to understand the benefits of selecting and correctly using fire doors.

The dangers and risks of non - compliance speak volumes'.

This view is endorsed by Keith Moore, Product Quality and Compliance Manager of Carillion plc.

'Speakers were knowledgeable and the course covered a wealth of detail at a level easily understood.

It was particularly valuable to see the live fire test, which put theory into practice.

As with all technical products, more detailed information may be required on more specific matters and Chiltern International Fire have indeed provided this support before and after the seminar.

Overall, a thoroughly enjoyable and well organised course'.

Dates for 2009 are: 18th June, 24th September and 26th November.

Aimed at fire door manufacturers, installers, property managers, specifiers and approved inspectors, the courses take place at Chiltern Fire's test laboratory near High Wycombe.

The cost is GBP275 + VAT (TRADA members) and GBP310 + VAT (non-members).
