Kevin Towler, Managing Director of Chiltern International Fire, discusses best practice for fire door testing. 

Leicester-based door manufacturer JCK Joinery brightened up the test laboratories of Chiltern Dynamics when it successfully submitted its Styro doorset for security testing to PAS 24. This extends the company’s already extensive scope under the security standard.

Chiltern International Fire and sister company BM TRADA Certification have finalised the 2007 calendar for their popular Timber Fire Doors Explained days, which include a full-scale fire test.

Chiltern Dynamics’ Energy Services Department has been taking its ‘Air Tightness Testing Explained’ training events out onto site, to demonstrate to builders and developers how straightforward it can be to pass the test.

Chiltern Dynamics has expanded its dedicated Energy Services Department to meet the increasing demand for air permeability testing of buildings for Part L compliance.

Taylor Woodrow and Chiltern International Fire have worked closely together to develop what is a unique fire test facility in the UK. The 10M x 10M x 6M concrete-lined large-scale fire test facility is perfectly suited to solving real life fire safety problems. It is capable of containing 6MW fires and has been used to prove many types of fire suppression and detection systems, in different applications.
