Fire doors - FAQ
When to use BS and CE certified fire doors?
Since November 1, 2019, it has not been allowed to use BS60 doors as fire doors in facades.
BS60 doors may still be used inside buildings if the doors are used for passenger traffic.
All fire doors placed in facades must be CE marked, which means they comply with European legislation. CE marking provides reassurance that all countries are working towards the same certification of fire doors.

What is the difference between BD/BS and CE marked doors?
The main difference is that BS doors are only tested from one side, whereas EI doors are tested from both sides of the door.
In tenders, CE doors (EI doors) will always be considered if BD-rated doors or BS rated doors are defined in the tender documents. However, if EI doors are defined in the tender documents, BD or BS doors cannot be considered.
