BM Trada Q-Mark Certification
At Kingsway Group, we are a certificated member of the BM Trada Q-Mark Third Party Fire Door Certification Scheme. With both the Building Regulations and the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order requiring the person manufacturing and installing fire doors to be competent, our certification under the Q-Mark scheme gives building owners, specifiers, and the responsible persons confidence that the integrity of their fire compartment lines are being maintained, with documented evidence to demonstrate this.
To achieve Q-Mark certification, our Complete Door Systems are rigorously tested by third party experts to BS 476 Part 22 for fire resistance, whilst BM Trada also audit us both by inspection and testing of our products to ensure continued compliance with the required standards.
