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’ training days in 2009. ‘A full-scale fire test is quite dramatic and therefore the lessons learned stick in the mind,’ said Technical Manager Vince Kerrigan.
The 2009 dates set are: 12th February, 30th April, 18th June, 24th September and 26th 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 Mr Kerrigan.
The courses will take place at the company’s Hughenden Valley test laboratory. The cost is £275 + VAT for TRADA members and £310 + VAT for non-members. To book telephone 01494 569620 or email training@chilternfire.co.uk.
