CERTIFIRE
Certifire is the certification for manufacturers and suppliers ensuring performance, quality, reliability and traceability for fire protection products and systems. The CERTIFIRE brand is recognised by many regulatory authorities worldwide as an international mark of fire safety.
Choosing a product that carries the mark of a reputable third party certification body gives assurances as to the performance of the products. Using certified products, correctly installed, provides a powerful demonstration that due diligence has been served. Products that carry the CERTIFIRE certification differentiates products and processes from non-certified equivalents.
FIRAS
We work closely with FIRAS, the certification designed for installation contractors which has been instrumental in improving standards of passive and active fire protection product and system installation. FIRAS is the mark of endorsement of competency in the installation of products and systems, vital for achieving the protection required. Some CERTIFIRE approved assemblies can be substitutes for each other in a CERTIFIRE approved doorset. However they must be fitted in accordance with JPD’s certification and that of the component supplier. Some assemblies, for example seals in a double doorset, cannot be substituted.
FRACS
Equally FRACS is the scheme that identifies fire risk assessors who have been examined for their competency to complete high quality fire risk assessment where doors have already been installed. Regular fire assessments are the responsibility of property owners and occupiers and in the UK it is a legal requirement of the Regulatory Reform Fire Safety Order to maintain such an assessment for any building.
