Satisfying CDM Regulations and installation certification documentation.
With the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 (CDM) in place, we provide full installation instructions, videos and additional resources, outlining the safe and compliant installation regime of your fire doorset product, to ensure the CDM regulation requirements of providing the relevant safety information for the product’s installation and service life is satisfied and adhered to.
Why it matters?
CDM identifies responsibilities of suppliers in regard to the safety of construction products.
Construction companies will need to provide information, instruction, training and supervision, with workers having their training needs assessed against the needs of the job and employers to meet the gap in skills knowledge through appropriate training.
Crucially if you supply fire door assemblies or doorsets the new CDM regulations may make it your responsibility to provide safety information regarding the use of a product throughout its installation and service life to be kept as part of the CDM file for the building.
This includes installing a product correctly and providing installation and maintenance instructions to the building manager or customer in order for them to be able to inspect and maintain the fire door product safely.
The designer’s role when preparing or modifying designs is to eliminate, reduce or control foreseeable risks that may occur during construction or maintenance and use of a building after it’s been built. The designer also provides information to other members of the project team to help them fulfil their duties.
What have we done to address the new CDM regulations?
We have stepped forward in providing full installation instructions, videos and additional resources, outlining the safe and compliant installation regime of the fire doorset product.
Furthermore, we hold primary test evidence and certification of our doorset product, including specifics such as testing with the lineal gap sealing method and material. We are providing the extra step in the design and consequent testing of our products, to reduce hassle and improve product quality for the safety of its user.
