YALE BOOSTS SPECIALIST
TRADE TEAM WITH TWO
NEW APPOINTMENTS
RIBA APPROVED
CPD LAUNCHED
» » SECURITY EXPERT ABLOY UK HAS
released a new RIBA approved
Continuing Professional Development
(CPD) course, covering all aspects of
electric locking for fire and/or escape
door applications.
Fire and Escape standards have been
developed first and foremost to preserve
lives, to allow emergency escape and
prevent the spread of fire and smoke
in dangerous and potentially life-
threatening situations.
These standards mean that managers
of buildings are legally obliged to adhere
to building regulations when it comes to
access control.
Abloy’s CPD covers traditional
requirements for escape and panic
doors, for example when a door is
electronically controlled for access, there
must be a mechanical means of escape
in the event of an emergency.
The new additions to escape door
standards clarify what is and what is not
acceptable as an escape door solution.
The course also covers ‘Dynamic
Lockdown’ which essentially enables
escape for the occupants of a building
and prevents unaurthorised access to
areas by compartmentalising zones in
buildings.
The CPD is recommended for anyone
directly reponsible for specifying and
installing fire and escape.. The CPD
can also be presented to local groups
throughout the UK.
