BM Trada has launched a new certification scheme designed to support manufacturers of timber doorsets and/or assemblies with the transition to EN classification.
The Q-Mark Fire Door Processing Scheme was launched ahead of the withdrawal of the national classification system (BS 476) from Approved Document B (ADB) in September 2029. This change will reshape how fire-resisting and smoke control door assemblies and doorsets are evidenced and classified for demonstrating compliance with the Building Regulations in England.
With EN classification becoming the primary performance classification in ADB, manufacturers need to be able to demonstrate fire resistance and smoke control performance, alongside how construction products such as doors have been processed, evidenced, and traced through the supply chain.
The scheme allows fabricators to work alongside established Q-Mark certified systems houses and doorset manufacturers.
