UKAS accredited 3rd Party auditing is not just required to verify test data for fi re doors, it is a critical requirement throughout the “Golden Thread” or lifecycle of a fi re doorset.
installation, annual inspection and any remedial maintenance required may be 3rd party audited. All of these stages within the Golden T read refer back to the original design testing ensuring the correct components are being used to make or maintain a door. Monitoring this compliance can be supported through the use of new data
storage technology, allowing each door to be individually recognised and the information from across the lifecycle digitally stored and accessed when required. For the landlord or responsible person, this means simplifi cation of the maintenance program for doors. As an example, soſt ware can record when a door’s annual inspection is due
and can create a schedule for inspection, or when remedial maintenance work is required for say a damaged letterbox, the information stored for the doorset can record the correct replacement component is competently fi tted to ensure continued compliance and warranties are maintained. To aid the understanding of the new requirements for a compliant fi re
doorset specifi cation, we have recently expanded our free training. T e training can be tailored depending on the audience, to cover a general overview of the golden thread and importance of 3rd party testing, or greater detail on the latest testing standards and legislation or Q&A sessions if greater depth is requested.
