A new register of qualified fire door installers is to be built as part of the legacy of last September’s ‘highly successful, cross-industry’ Fire Door Safety Week campaign by the British Woodworking Federation (BWF), BWF-CERTIFIRE Scheme, and Fire Door Inspector Scheme.
Iain McIlwee, the BWF’s chief executive, said: “Our intention with the Fire Door Installer Register is that every building owner, estates, or facilities manager, can access thirdparty certificated fire doors and doorsets, and have them installed by properly qualified professionals.” The Fire Door Installer Register (see website: www.firedoorinstallers.co.uk) is backed by the UK’s leading fire door experts, associations, and organisations. Any installation company with certification from BM TRADA Certification, FIRAS, or IFC, is eligible to join the register for free, by recording their certification details at the aforementioned website. The register will be promoted to building owners from early this year.
