Its Fire Door Guide is based on documentation from various third-party accreditation bodies such as the British Woodworking Federation and the Door Hardware Federation. With so much confusion surrounding the “responsible person” in fire door safety, the guide aims to break down any barriers between those living and working in residential, commercial and public buildings, and maintaining compliance. The guide covers a wide range of processes that are vital to ensuring a fire door’s compliancy and durability. Beginning by simplifying fire door regulations in understandable terms, the guide then goes on to cover the following topics: design and specification; ordering and procurement; delivery and storage; installation and usage; and concludes with management and inspection. http://bit.ly/AA-FDG.
