NOTTINGHAM — Global HSE Group, a leader in fire safety, consultancy, and training, has successfully achieved UKCA certification for its FD30s PAS 24 Composite Fire Doors range, which is manufactured to the highest fire safety standards in its Nottingham headquarters. It has confirmed full compliance with UK legislation and performance standards.
This new UKCA marking, which replaced the CE mark in Great Britain on 1 January 2021, is a mandatory standard for external fire doorsets. Certification for the Ceasefire Door demonstrates it has undergone and passed rigorous independent testing at UKAS-accredited laboratories.
Achieving this certification demanded robust product design, meticulous engineering, and transparent documentation. The Ceasefire Door was developed with a primary focus on:
- Fire Resistance: Providing the required protection time during an emergency.
- Smoke Control: Preventing toxic smoke from spreading between compartments.
- Energy Efficiency: Built-in insulation to optimise thermal performance and sustainability.
Additionally, the Ceasefire Doors have recently renewed the BM TRADA Q-Mark certification and have been certified to the PAS 24 security standard, reinforcing their resistance to forced entry techniques and providing enhanced protection against unauthorised access. This dual certification for both fire safety and security offers a comprehensive solution for a wide range of applications.
Ross Baggaley, Production Manager at Global HSE Group, said, “Implementing the UKCA process for the Ceasefire Door has been a rewarding challenge. It required careful coordination between design, testing, and production, but the outcome is a product that we know meets the very highest fire safety standards.”
Andrew Cooper, Managing Director of Global HSE Group, added, “The UKCA certification of our Ceasefire Door is not just a technical achievement, it’s a reflection of Global HSE Group’s commitment to safety, quality, and customer trust. I want to personally thank Ross and the entire team for their dedication to achieving this certification.”
The Ceasefire Door is now positioned as a fully compliant, market-leading solution, offering clients unrivalled assurance in both performance and safety. Every door comes with a Declaration of Performance (DoP) using NFC tracking, providing complete transparency on its specifications and compliance along the Golden Thread.
