Everyday use of fire doors can result in general wear and tear and door alterations.  This can affect  the doors performance in the event of a fire.

Third-party inspection of fire doors through JFDs stringent 22 point check and reporting, provides evidence to the responsible person that everything reasonably practical has been done to demonstrate the ability of the fire door to perform in the event of a fire. 

Fire door third-party certification also provides vital specification information for component parts to enable the fire door or door set to be maintained in line with the original specification throughout its lifespan. This is necessary for compliance with both the Building Regulations and the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order.
