FAQs about us

1. How are PDS Fire Doors Tested? View

Our fire doors undergo rigorous testing to make sure they meet the highest safety standards. The tests we conduct include EN1634, PAS24, and BS 6375 parts 1, 2, and 3. These comprehensive tests assess the fire resistance, security, and performance of our fire rated doors, ensuring they provide the protection you need.

2. What is EN1634? View

EN 1634-1 is a European standard for testing fire-resisting doorsets. This standard has overtaken the British standard BS 476-22 in many cases. EN 1634-1 provides a reliable measure of a door’s fire resistance by subjecting it to a controlled fire scenario. At PDS Doorsets, we test our doorsets to EN1634-1 as standard practice to ensure maximum safety and compliance.

3. What is FD30 and FD60? View

Fire ratings for fire doors are indicated in minutes and prefixed by the letters FD:

  • FD30: Provides at least 30 minutes of fire protection.
  • FD60: Provides at least 60 minutes of fire protection.

Our fire rated doors are tested against a temperature-controlled furnace to achieve these ratings, to make sure they meet the required safety standards.
