In the post-Grenfell regulatory landscape, the scrutiny on fire safety specifications has never been higher.
For the designated “Responsible Person” and the specifying architect, due diligence is paramount. Relying on manufacturer self-declarations is no longer a viable risk management strategy. In today’s construction environment, you need proof, not just promises.
The Value of BM TRADA Q-Mark
Third-party certification is the gold standard of compliance. At Pyrodoor, we invest in BM TRADA Q-Mark certification because it offers our clients three critical assurances:
- Consistency: It verifies that the product manufactured in our Greenock facility is identical to the product originally tested in the fire lab.
- Traceability: It provides a clear audit trail from raw material to finished installation, essential for maintaining the “Golden Thread” of information.
- Performance: It guarantees that the FD30 or FD60 rating is not theoretical, but a proven reality capable of withholding fire for the specified time.
Dual Accreditation: Security Meets Safety
Beyond fire safety, modern commercial projects must address physical security.
Specifying Pyrodoor means accessing dual accreditation: high-performance fire resistance combined with Secured by Design status. This meets the “Police Preferred Specification,” adding another layer of value and security to your development without requiring separate doors for separate risks.
Protect Your Reputation
Your professional reputation is built on the reliability of your specifications.
If a product fails, the liability often traces back to the specification stage. Partner with a manufacturer that prioritises third-party verification to ensure you can hand over the project with total peace of mind.
Don’t leave compliance to chance.
