Practical Considerations
Practical considerations.
It is essential, but often difficult, to ensure that specified and certified fire performance levels are actually achieved on site. Leaderflush Shapland was the first company to gain accreditation to the CERTIFIRE Fire Door and Doorset Scheme, additionally we hold certification under the BM TRADA Q-Mark scheme. Third party certification audits are undertaken by the certification body and ISO 9000 Inspectorate during the manufacture of doors and doorsets. Every door or doorset carries a tamper-evident label with clear, essential information, or with the Q-MARK scheme, a dowel which identifies the extent of fabrication has that taken place under the certified FPC process. The important areas of installation and maintenance are covered by the FIRAS scheme, of which Leaderflush Shapland is a driving force through its commitment and training.
