Being a long-time advocate of third-party Fire Door inspection and certification and to meet the growing demand, Moving Designs have set up a specialist division within their group, MD Fire Doors.

MD Fire Doors provides an independent, third-party fire door inspection service. Their Certified Fire Door Inspectors are fully qualified under the Fire Door Inspection Scheme (FDIS).

The FDIS scheme was designed to transform people’s knowledge and understanding about the critical purpose and function of fire doors. Its ultimate purpose is to help improve safety and save lives and to help those with legal responsibilities under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order. It also raises awareness of defective fire doors and the potentially tragic consequences of leaving these unchecked.

• Moving Designs’ Fire Door Inspection service provides a detailed inspection report of all your Fire and Exit doors using our latest data collection technology software.

• The service includes a full rectification report outlining the defects and faults with your fire doors.

• An identification label is attached to each fire door providing a unique numbering system for data referencing and demonstrating to the users of the building that the doors have been surveyed professionally

• On completion an inspection certificate is provided for identification purposes in compliance with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.

Third-party certification involves the testing of the door as a complete assembly, including door leaf, frame, ironmongery, intumescent seals and glazing. Regular testing and audits are required to complete the certification process and certificates are issued, indicating the scope of the certification. It is these measures which ensure the product supplied to the contractor meets and maintains the guaranteed quality of the original design.
