CPR - Fire and Smoke Doors

Fire doors are construction products that require certification by a recognised body before being placed on the market. This is a product certification in which, in addition to the one-off initial type test, the recurring inspection of the manufacturer's own factory production control (FPC) must also be carried out.

Both the legal situation in Great Britain and EU law are based on the product standard EN 16034 in conjunction with EN 14351-1 or EN 13241. Manufacturers who want to serve the British market can also fulfil the requirements for placing products on the European market by complying with the same product standard and vice versa. However, the framework legislation and the requirements for the product certification body are regulated separately.

Within the globally active TÜV NORD GROUP, the UK-based TÜV UK Ltd. holds the necessary UKAS accreditation and is recognised as a UK Approved Body. Operating in Germany, TÜV NORD CERT GmbH & Co. KG provides its services with DAkkS accreditation and recognition as a Notified Body. Both companies work closely together.

This means that our customers can obtain certification in accordance with both the UK Construction Products Regulation (EU retained law) and the EU Construction Products Regulation EU 305/2011 in a single process.
