    No need to apologise—fire safety regulations can be tricky!

    Yes, you are correct that you need to get a certified FD30s fire door set, which includes the door, frame, and all the essential components (such as the intumescent strips, smoke seals, and fire-rated hinges). However, once a qualified tradesperson installs the fire door, they don’t automatically issue a certificate.

    Instead, the certification process depends on the manufacturer certification and the installer competency such as such as BM TRADA Q-Mark or FIRAS. This ensures they are qualified to install fire doors correctly. Hope that helps now, sorry I know it’s so confusing!
