Ensuring Safety with Q-Mark Certified Fire Doors

Case Study

At R J Parry, we take pride in our Q-Mark certification for manufacturing 30 and 60-minute fire doors. This certification is a testament to our commitment to quality and safety, ensuring that our products meet the highest standards in fire protection.

Fire Doors Are a Legal Requirement
Fire doors are not just a precautionary measure; they are a legal requirement in all non-domestic properties. This includes commercial premises, public buildings, blocks of flats, and houses of multiple occupancy (HMOs). The Fire Safety Act 2021 and the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 were introduced to enhance the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. These updates followed the Grenfell Tower tragedy and aim to prevent similar disasters by enforcing stricter fire safety regulations.

The legislation mandates the installation of fire doors in specific locations within buildings to provide critical escape routes and compartmentalisation during a fire. Non-compliance can result in severe penalties, including hefty fines and legal action. Therefore, it is crucial for building owners and managers to ensure that their fire doors meet the prescribed standards.

Fire Doors Are Designed to Protect Lives and Property
Fire doors are specifically engineered to withstand high temperatures and prevent the spread of fire and smoke. They play a vital role in maintaining the integrity of escape routes, allowing occupants to exit safely and providing fire services with crucial time to control and extinguish the fire.

Q-Mark certification, which we proudly hold at R J Parry, ensures that our fire doors have passed rigorous testing and meet stringent performance criteria. Our 30 and 60-minute fire doors are designed to:

Resist Fire and Heat: Our fire doors are constructed from materials that can withstand extreme heat and flames for a specified period (30 or 60 minutes), preventing the fire from spreading quickly.
Control Smoke: Smoke inhalation is a leading cause of death in fires. Our doors are designed to seal tightly, limiting the spread of smoke and giving occupants more time to evacuate safely.
Provide Reliable Performance: With Q-Mark certification, our doors undergo testing and quality checks, ensuring they perform reliably in the event of a fire.

At R J Parry, we understand the critical importance of fire safety and are dedicated to manufacturing fire doors that meet the highest standards. Our Q-Mark certification for 30 and 60-minute fire doors shows our commitment to quality and safety, providing peace of mind to building owners, managers, and occupants.

Investing in certified fire doors is not just about compliance; it’s about protecting lives and property. Trust R J Parry to deliver fire doors that offer unparalleled protection and reliability.
