Fire-Stopping Certification Scheme to Launch at FIREX Honeywell to Introduce Latest Aspiration Detection Device
A new scheme to certify fire-stopping solutions is being launched at FIREX. Devised by BM TRADA, the scheme aims to verify the competence of installers and provide reassurance to responsible persons. Certification will ensure that compartment lines are properly sealed and that fire-stopping products are fitted correctly, in line with both their instructions and their fire-test evidence. A minimum of two annual site audit visits are required to obtain and retain certification under the scheme. Stand U800
Fire-Door Advice Aplenty from BWF and FDIS
Free fire-door safety presentations will take place every hour during the exhibition courtesy of the BWF-CERTIFIRE Fire Door and Doorset Scheme and the Fire Door Inspection Scheme (FDIS). Expert advice will cover regulations and obligations, fire door inspections, seals, ironmongery and glazing. A new video, meanwhile, will demonstrate three poorly installed fire doors and the consequences when they burn. After a successful campaign last year Fire Door Safety Week returns again. John Fletcher, BWF-CERTIFIRE scheme manager, said: “We’ve really packed out our time at FIREX this year as we strive to get the fire door safety message across. Everyone needs to understand the critical role a fire door plays as part of a building’s passive fire protection.” Stand U600
