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.
Glyn Hauser, Engineering and Innovation Manager at JELD-WEN UK, said: “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.
“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.”
