About Fire Door Certification (IS 3614-1)
CDG provides fire door certification as per IS 3614-1.
One of the fire safety requirements to be taken into consideration while planning and designing industrial and non-industrial buildings is to provide the means for restricting the spread of fire, both internally and externally. The spread of fire can be minimized if the respective floor areas are limited and divided into smaller sections, each section being separated by perfect separating walls and openings therein fitted with fire-check doors. The design of fire-check doors and the materials to be used in their construction have to be such that the doors shall be capable of providing an effective barrier to the spread of fire. The fire resistance of two doors should, as far as practicable, be the same as for the wall. This standard has been prepared with a view to providing adequate guidance to both the manufacturer and the user in regard to the materials to be used and the construction to be adopted for fire-check doors capable of giving the required fire protection.
As erection of fire-check doors is a very important aspect in order to achieve the desired degree of fire protection, it is strongly advised that the fire check doors should be erected strictly in accordance with the requirements given in Appendix A of this standard.
