Summary
Product Recall for Specialist Door Solutions Hospital Fire Doors.
The risk
The manufacturer has identified that specific configurations of Vision Panels and / or Concealed Closers in certain door leaves may not be fully in accordance with the certified design or installation standards. This could mean that the inclusion of a vision panel or concealed closer results in a slight reduction in the fire door’s ability to contain fire and smoke, potentially compromising safety in the event of a fire. The issue may reduce the time for which the doors are certified for resisting fire.
The product does not meet the requirements of the General Product Safety Regulations 2005.
Action taken
The product has been recalled from end users.
Advice to consumers
The manufacturer has issued a recall for certain fire doors installed in hospitals due to concerns about the installation of specific vision panel configurations and certification queries affecting certain concealed closers. The remainder of the door set is unaffected.
Affected projects have been notified of the issue directly, including information on interim safety measures that should be undertaken while doorsets are modified or replaced.
Specialist Door Solutions’ recall team can be contacted on 01684 770 012 or SDShelp@leviathanconsulting.co.uk for project managers with questions or requiring urgent assistance.
