The fire door industry is preparing for a significant change. BS 476 classifications will no longer be recognised for new projects from September 2029, with the sector moving towards testing under the EN 1634 framework.
This issue of Bondline explains what the transition means for manufacturers and specifiers, why compliance applies to the complete tested door assembly rather than individual components, and what businesses should be doing now to prepare.
It also covers the importance of reviewing existing fire test evidence, engaging with suppliers, challenging vague specifications and maintaining consistent manufacturing processes.
