Labels and plugs
Third-party certification schemes such as BM TRADA Q-Mark and BWF-Certifire mark certified doors with a label or plug, usually on the top edge or hinge edge. Painted-over or missing marks don't prove a door is uncertified, but they make it hard to show it is.
Certificates and fields of application
A certificate lists what the doorset can be — sizes, glazing, hardware and frames. A door outside those limits isn't covered, even if the leaf itself is certified.
What we provide
Every doorset we quote has the manufacturer's certificate reference against it, and your handover pack records it by door location. Certification belongs to the manufacturer's tested doorset — that's the claim we make, and the one you can check.
Common questions
What if my door has no label?
Ask whoever fitted it for paperwork. If none exists, a fire door surveyor can advise whether the door can be relied on.
Is a test report the same as certification?
No. A test is a one-off. Third-party certification includes ongoing factory checks.
