Fire glass earns second approval
17th November 2015

PROMAT Pyrosec fire and physical attack-resistant glass, which is already certified by Warrington Certification, has now been approved for use in BM Trada Q-Mark certified timber based fire doors, following a technical assessment of Pyrosec 7/30 and 7/60 glass by the independent certification body.

BM Trada’s Q-Mark certification scheme confirms that products such as timber based fire doors are consistently manufactured to the same standard as the original tested system. Providing their use is in line with the Promat assessment specifications, manufacturers of timber based fire doors whose products are certified under the BM Trada Q-Mark Fire Door Manufacture Scheme can now use Promat Pyrosec® fire resistant glass within their door products, without requiring additional certification.
Sales Manager Mike Fawcett said: “This latest technical review expands the scope and use of Pyrosec® within timber based fire doors, providing BM Trada Q-Mark certified timber based fire door manufacturers with greater opportunities and increased competitive advantage.
 “Promat Pyrosec has held Certifire approval from Warrington Certification for some years now. This latest approved scope extension simply underlines the product’s versatility and performance reliability.”

Promat Pyrosec can provide up to 60 minutes fire integrity, and also withstand severe physical attack. It is designated as "A" Class Safety Glass to BS6206, and has a strong track record of use for vision panels in doors, side-screens and walls, in all types of buildings such as hospitals, prisons and detention centres where safety and security are prime requirements.
