UK doorset manufacturer JELD-WEN has secured BM Trada Q Mark certification allowing it to expand the range of internal fire doorsets it manufactures.
Complementing its position as a Licensed Door Processor, securing the UKAS-verified certification provides a guarantee that fire doorsets manufactured by JELD-WEN meet stringent, ongoing, third-party certification standards.
To support the application, JELD-WEN has dedicated an area of its manufacturing plant in Sheffield to be used solely for the manufacture of BM Trada Q Mark certified fire doors.
This will be used to process a wider range of door cores that can then be fabricated to a range of specifications, including different finishes, colours, glazing options and hardware to meet project-specific requirements.
While JELD-WEN already manufactures its own range of fire doorsets it can now process components and parts for other BM Trada Q Mark certified manufacturers – operating as a fabricator to supply the finished solution for projects, with certification carrying through to the final product.
The BM Trada Q Mark certification complements the existing Certifire and Certisecure standards that JELD-WEN meets, allowing the company to offer its widest range of doorsets. This underlines its commitment to meeting the highest standards through third-party, independently tested product certification while offering customers a wide choice of doors.
Having secured approval for BM Trada Q Mark certification within the space of nine months, the first doors manufactured under the scheme came off the production line at the end of January.
“At JELD-WEN we pride ourselves on achieving the highest safety standards when manufacturing fire doorsets and the gold standard in demonstrating this is through third-party verification.”
Glyn continues to say: “BM Trada upholds the very highest standards across the supply chain. By becoming a verified member of the scheme, JELD-WEN can now work with other suppliers also holding BM Trada certification to deliver a wider range of products to meet varied specifications."
“This is a great way to complement the already comprehensive offer from JELD-WEN as a specialist doorset manufacturer – and to produce high quality, design-led doorsets that meet the highest standards in fire safety.”
