76 • HARDWARE&SECURITY PROUD SPONSORS OF THIS PAGE FIRE DOORS SAFETY WHITEPAPER LAUNCHED » » ASSA ABLOY SECURITY Doors, a UK division of ASSA ABLOY, the global leader in door opening solutions, has launched a thought-provoking whitepaper focusing on the critical subject of fire door safety. The whitepaper covers key topics of fire door safety. These include the purpose and effectiveness of fire doors, fire door regulations, manufacturing and installation, and will be available to download from http://marketing.assaabloy. co.uk/fire-door-white-paper. The Grenfell Tower incident last year raised many questions surrounding how we can prevent the spread of fires in commercial and social housing buildings. Fire doors are one of the most important and effective elements of a building’s passive fire protection. ASSA ABLOY Security Doors wanted to discuss how mandatory inspection and maintenance of fire doors can only serve to protect a building and its occupants. The whitepaper discusses in detail how installing correctly- specified fire doors can significantly reduce the spread of fire within a building. It then provides practical information which covers current fire door guidance, standards and accreditation. It also calls for the UK government to adopt and enforce a mandatory fire door inspection and maintenance scheme. http://marketing.assaabloy. co.uk/fire-door-white-paper. www.assaabloy.co.uk/ SecurityDoors.
