It will also show the certifier and that the door complies to the Australian Fire door & fire door frame standards. This Standard of performance should be in accordance with AS1905 Part 1. If your building has this information, contact the door/frame manufacturer to get an email approval that they made the product(s), year made and installed, Plus the internal door core type and steel frame thickness. Fire Rate can then carry out an inspection of the door/frame and issue compliance tags if found that the fire door and/or frame is installed correctly, with compliant door hardware and found to be in correct working order.
If you cannot get this confirmation from the door/frame manufacturer, then unfortunately Fire Rate® can only offer a competitive new fire door and/or fire door frame upgrade service with new compliance tags.
