What does a Test & Inspection include?

A full test and inspection of fire resisting doors sets includes – a non-destructive and non-intrusive survey comprising:

  • A comprehensive visual inspection of each fire resisting doorset, both leaf and frame along with the substrate it is fixed to. 
  • A visual and technical check of the certification to ascertain whether the doorset is certified, nominal or un-certifiable.
  • Confirmation as to the fire resisting time the door can achieve such as 30 or 60 minutes. (FD30 – FD60)
  • The fire resisting qualities of the fire door hinges and all door hardware including confirming the presence of appropriate certification. 
  • The condition, fitting, and operation of the hinges and hardware including the door closer, latch, lock and keep. 
  • A review of fire door signage
  • A check of the condition and operation of any hold open devices and how they behave in a fire situation – in line with government guidance. 
  • A check of the fire door closing devices and their ability to effectively close the doorsets at the correct angles, in line and with no resistance. 
  • A check for relevant markings, for example from the manufacturer to identify the fire rating of the doorset and ascertain the type of installation is within the certified specifications for that particular doorset and its application. 
  • An inspection of any vision panels, glazing, and review of their certification, suitability and installation.
  • An inspection of the cold smoke seals
  • An inspection of the intumescent strips with confirmation of any damage and that they are correctly located and installed. 
  • A review of the gaps between the leaf and frame – including the threshold for suitability based on the manufacturer’s certified specification. 
  • A visual inspection of the fire door frame
  • A visual inspection of the door leaf 
  • A review of the materials used in the installation of the doorset including any fire stopping applied around the door frame. 
  • A auditable report highlighting the mapped door locations, a clear action plan which outlines the locations of defects, photographic evidence, and suggested/required remedial actions.

Working with Goldstone has been a great experience from start to finish.

Their professionalism, expertise and support made a much easier and less stressful process after it was highlighted through an external audit that our engineering building breached several fire safety issues which raised concerns, therefore these breaches were raised as non-conformances.

We contacted Goldstones who came to site to explain firstly how they could help.

Being accredited fire stop surveyors and installers the process was to carry out a full site survey, document their findings with photographic evidence. Then carry out the fire stop recommendations whether it be 30/60/90/120 mins requirement, complete with installation photo.

The QR label system they apply after the repair identifies what fire rating protection has been installed, material spec and date it was completed. This can then be cross referenced with the report which we now hold on our shared drive with Facilities and the H&S Department.

This has been very useful when the auditing team came back, as all we had to do was revisit a couple of examples of the breaches to prove what had been done. The rest could be viewed on the shared drive document.

The standard of finish and attention to detail was second to none.

Thanks you Goldstones for a great job.
