Certification & Compliance

BS 8300-2:2018 Design of an accessible and inclusive built environment. Buildings - code of practice, lists many recommendations relating to door hardware, including; lever handle designs, heights and dimensions, pull handle lengths, lock case dimensions, light reflective values (LRV’s) for materials and finishes, threshold heights, door opening forces and clear opening widths.

CE MARKING is certification to the highest levels of attestation required by the Construction Products Directive. The CE mark indicates that the product has been successfully 3rd party performance/fire tested and that the producing factory has passed stringent Factory Production Control audits, carried out by a UKAS notified certification.

UKCA (UK Conformity Assessed) marking is a UK product marking that is used for good being placed on the market in Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales). It applies to most goods which previously required CE marking. The technical requirements (‘essential requirements’) you must meet - and the conformity assessment processes and standards that can be used to demonstrate conformity - are largely the same as they were for the CE marking.

CERTIFIRE is an independent 3rd party scheme providing high quality, voluntary, product conformity for the passive fire sector. Certifire is product certification at a higher level than CE. Additional requirements are ISO:9001:2000 certification, independent audit testing and a comprehensive field of application document based on carefully chosen tests. Designed to give confidence to specifiers, enforcement authorities and building owners/occupiers, the Certifire scheme is recognised by regulatory
authorities both in the UK and overseas.

KITEMARK is the world’s premier symbol of trust, integrity and quality. Manufacturers having this associated with their product or service will reassure customers and specifiers alike that they have satisfied the most rigorous of quality processes.
