Chiltern to reach 1,000 delegates with fire door event BM TRADA Certification and Chiltern International Fire will stage a further one-day seminar, Timber Fire Doors Explained, on Wednesday 25th May 2005.

Since the concept was introduced three years ago, more than 1,000 delegates have attended this successful series.

'We have developed an effective mix of technical content and practical demonstration and after each seminar there is clear demand for a next one,' said organiser Tom Gregory.

The day includes a full-scale fire test on two similar doorsets, to demonstrate testing procedure and illustrate how seemingly minor flaws in design, manufacture and installation incorporated into one of the doors can have a significant impact on its fire resisting performance.

The seminars are aimed at manufacturers, installers, building control inspectors, NHS fire officers/estate managers, contractors, architects and property/facility managers.

The programme for the day will cover: § the background to the regulatory requirements § how fire doors are tested, assessed and certified § how to install a fire door correctly § design issues which make the difference between pass and fail and § introduction to BM TRADA Certification's Q-Mark fire doors scheme.

'Delegates appreciate that fire doors save lives as well as protecting property.

It's essential that they are manufactured, specified, installed and inspected correctly in every circumstance,' Mr Gregory added.

Further dates for 2005 are Wednesday 7th September and Wednesday 9th November.

The seminars will take place at Chiltern International Fire's Hughenden Valley test laboratory.

The cost is £195 + VAT.
