Fitness-for-purpose testing of doorsets to match durability performance to end-use.
Certain end-uses may require doors to be used more frequently and be subject to more physical abuse than others e.g. in school or hospital corridors. In such cases it is vital that these doors are durable so that they will be able to continue to perform their everyday function as well as maintain their fire resistance or security functions, if required.
Chiltern Dynamics and BM TRADA have developed a testing programme (CDTM 01) and certification scheme to classify doorsets for service-life and allow doors to be manufactured and specified to meet the needs of their end-use application with minimal maintenance.
In addition, Chiltern Dynamics is able to offer testing to a range of British and European standards for door and window durability, including:
