What does third-party certification mean?
Third-party certification means an independent body has checked the product's test evidence and audits the factory that makes it. Certified products carry a label or plug on the door edge and a certificate you can check. Buyers often look for schemes such as BWF Certifire or BM TRADA Q-Mark when choosing products. Our guide to certified doorsets explains how to read the label and certificate.
As standard, the work covers:
- Frame fixing and frame-to-wall gap sealing
- Installation to the manufacturer's instructions
- Doorset selection to rating, size and use
- Certificate references and photo record per opening
