Our Story
What is a Fire Door Certificate?
A Fire Door Certificate (FDC) is an official document issued by a certified fire safety professional to confirm that a fire door meets all required safety standards. These standards, such as FD30 and FD60, indicate the number of minutes the door can withstand fire and smoke. Fire doors are essential components of passive fire protection, preventing the spread of fire and smoke between sections of a building and providing occupants with valuable time to evacuate safely.

Why Fire Door Certification is Crucial
1. Prevents Fire Spread
Certified fire doors limit the spread of fire and smoke, creating compartments that allow safe evacuation and minimize property damage.
2. Ensures Legal Safety
Fire door certification helps landlords and property managers meet fire safety obligations, avoiding fines and legal liabilities.
3. Supports Insurance
An up-to-date FDC is often required for insurance claims and regulatory inspections, ensuring coverage in case of emergencies.
4. Improves Building Security
Fire doors also enhance security by preventing unauthorized access and maintaining the structural integrity of the building.
5. Boosts Occupant Confidence
Tenants and occupants feel safer knowing certified fire prevention measures are in place and actively maintained.
6. Essential for Business Operations
Commercial properties require fire door certification to pass inspections and meet ongoing health and safety criteria.
Understanding Fire Door Certificates
Fire door certificates are more than just documents—they are proof that your fire door installation meets critical safety and legal standards. These certificates confirm proper construction, fitting, and resistance levels against fire and smoke.
Key Aspects of Fire Door Certification:
- FD30/FD60 Standards: Verifies the door can withstand fire for 30 or 60 minutes.
- Comprehensive Review: Includes frame, hinges, intumescent strips, and seals.
- Qualified Installation: Ensures the door was fitted by a certified professional.
Impact on Building Safety
Fire doors play a vital role in creating fire compartments, which contain fire and smoke, providing valuable time for evacuation and emergency response.
Benefits of Certified Fire Doors:
- Compartmentalization: Helps contain fire within specific zones.
- Evacuation Time: Adds critical minutes for safe evacuation.
- Emergency Response: Increases the effectiveness of fire-fighting efforts.
Maintenance & Renewal
Routine checks and timely renewal of fire door certification are essential for long-term reliability. Over time, door components can wear out, so regular servicing is key to maintaining safety and compliance.
Why Maintenance Matters:
- Regular Inspections: Keep fire doors functioning properly.
- Scheduled Renewals: Ensure ongoing legal compliance.
- Audit Readiness: Documented maintenance supports inspections and audits.
