Understanding the label
The BWF-CERTIFIRE Fire Door & Doorset Scheme has a variety of labels to suit the ratings and requirements of different jobs. These labels display the member's name and phone number, and, where applicable, the certification number, a unique serial number and the rating. By listing this information, the label provides traceability through the supply chain, ensuring the manufacturer can always be contacted if information on the fire door is required.
The Prime Fire Door Manufacturer will start by putting a label on the top edge of the fire door indicating the door's rating. If a Licensed Converter then makes any adjustments to a fire door, such as fitting a vision panel, they will attach their own label next to that of the manufacturer. A separate label is placed on the head of a certificated frame, lining or casing.
The Scheme has produced a Gap Tester to check doors are fitted correctly and to help view the label. For a free Gap Tester email us at firedoors@bwf.org.uk.
