PERFORMANCE
& COMPLIANCE
A fire door is a carefully engineered
safety product and a crucial part of
the passive fire protection of every
commercial, public and multiple
occupancy building. It is designed to
save lives and property by delaying the
spread of fire.
Before a fire door can be sold in the
market it must be tested to prove that
it performs and complies with strict
safety and building regulations.
Third Party Certification
What Testing has the fds
Fire Door Undertaken?
Under the current building regulations, all
new flat entrance doors must be furnace
tested to both sides and be to FD30s standard.
This means the fire door must provide fire
resistance for no less than 30 minutes and
be resistant to the passage of smoke at room
temperature conditions.
• 60 individual test specimens were subject
to 30 bi-directional fire tests, achieving
on average 44 minutes integrity, proving
consistency.
The Neuma fds FD30s GRP composite fire
door system is certificated by the BM Trada
Q-Mark scheme as an FD30s doorset and holds
triple certification for Fire, Smoke & Security,
having been tested to BS EN1634-1 2014 and
PAS24:2022.
• Both solid and glazed door leaf options
were tested, either with or without
fanlights or sidelights.
Not only has the fds fire door system itself been
subjected to third party testing, as the doorset
fabricator, we at Hurst must be accredited
as a fire door manufacturer to supply the fds
fire door system and are regularly audited
to ensure we continue to meet the strict
standards required for certification.
