Client Experience & Recent Projects

Q Mark Certification - Dont- take the riskQ: As a specifier, purchaser or contractor, you are likely to be procuring

a wide range of products and services. In the case of a complex product, where performance is

critical, how can you be certain that the product you choose will perform and that you have done

everything you can to mitigate against the risk of failure?

A: By specifying that the product has independent third party certification.

What is independent third party certification?

Independent third party certification is the highest form of endorsement a product can achieve and is

being increasingly specified by architects, contractors, local authorities, facilities managers and procurement

managers. In addition, its contribution and its importance have been widely accepted for some time by a

number of recognised bodies. Third party certification of Doors & Windows is a mandatory requirement for

Secured by Design (SBD), whilst Approved Document B makes it clear that this is the preferred route for

demonstrating performance of Fire Doors.

To attain third party certification, a manufacturer and their product will have to undergo a rigorous audit

and testing process, ensuring that they have in place documented product specifications, installation

instructions, and a factory production control system, all of which integrate with an approved Quality

Management Scheme such as ISO 9001.

The benefits of specifying independent third party certification.

Here’s why you should specify independent third party certification:

Consistency of product quality at all times

Independent verification of product quality

Ensures the product is fit for its intended purpose

Ensures the product is safe to use

Mitigates against the risk of product failure

A commercially sound investment

UK’s foremost certification bodies with over 35 years experience and accredited by UKAS since 1991.

performance levels through independent accredited tests. It also shows that every product manufactured

will offer the same level of performance through integration with an approved Quality Management Scheme.

Continuous performance and production are also checked through regular audit testing and inspections.

Why specify BM TRADA Q-Mark certification?

One of the UK’s leading providers of independent third party certification

A recognised and widely accepted quality standard

Independently accredited by United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS)

Experts in the field of doors, windows, glass and fire resistant products

Rigorous eligibility and on-going membership criteria

Audits conducted by full-time customer specific auditors with a manufacturing background Consistency in auditing procedures across multiple manufacturing sites

Regular factory audits conducted to ensure consistency in product manufacture

Regular sample testing to ensure consistency in product quality
