Fire Door Inspection Scheme (FDIS)

Ensuring an individual has the correct skills, knowledge and experience to #inspect #firedoors is essential, as they keep us safe in the buildings we visit or occupy. All FDIS approved inspectors operating under the Competent Person Certification Scheme, have to demonstrate they have all 3 as part of their approval process as a minimum.

Really proud to be the opening webinar for their national Fire Door Safety Week Campaign - talking about #firedoorinsepections number of attendees was incredible. #firedoorsafety

There is still time to register for the FREE webinars taking place during British Woodworking Federation's Fire Door Safety Week. As well as informative presentations from Fire Door Inspection Scheme (FDIS) and National Fire Chiefs Council (NFCC), BWF Technical Director Kevin Underwood will provide a compelling analysis of the Grenfell Tower Inquiry Phase 2 report and the proposed revisions to timber-based fire door assemblies. Kevin’s insights will emphasise the critical role fire doors play in safeguarding lives and property, and why spreading awareness about their importance is essential for everyone. #firedoors #firesafety https://lnkd.in/edsUjqmp

Still time to register on such an important subject for many, especially after the announcements last week by the minister on Approved Document B and the Grenfell Enquiry Phase 2 Report and recommendations #FDSW2024

With the release of the Grenfell Tower Phase 2 Report and the mention of the lack of fire door inspection and maintenance schedule, there is no better time than to register for the British Woodworking Federation free webinars #FDSW24. 4 topics very relevant to #firedoorsaftey. They are free https://lnkd.in/dhmHh8GE

Today the Minister for Building Safety and Homelessness issued a statement regarding revoking the previously stated deadline of 30 June 2025 the recognition of CE marking in Great Britain & the withdrawal of the National fire testing standards from Approved Document B for both reaction to fire, with a transition period of six months, and fire resistance with transition period of five years. The 2029 amendment document continues to permit the use of assessments of fire resistance for internal doorsets until such time as a relevant harmonised product standard is published. New publications outlining the relevant amendments to Approved Document B for 2025, 2026 and 2029 have been posted on the Gov.UK website. Full statement here 👇 https://lnkd.in/ey_nC74d
