Chiltern International Fire and sister company BM TRADA Certification will continue to include a full-scale fire door test in their popular ‘Timber Fire Doors Explained’ days in 2008.

The dates set are: 6^th February, 7^th May, 26^th June, 25^th September and 20^th November.

The ‘explained days’ are aimed at fire door manufacturers, installers, property managers, specifiers and approved inspectors. The course will cover glazed timber fire door construction and installation; how fire doors are tested, assessed and certified; how to install a fire door correctly; and the design and detailing issues which make the difference between pass and fail.

‘Delegates appreciate that fire doors save lives as well as protecting property. It’s essential that they are manufactured, specified, installed and inspected correctly in every circumstance,’ said consultant Peter Barker.

The courses will take place at Chiltern International Fire’s Hughenden Valley test laboratory. The cost is £260 + VAT for TRADA members and £295 + VAT for non-members. To book telephone 01494 569620 or email .
