Why use a BM Trada Company?

This certification demonstrates competence in the installation of fire stopping products. Where services such as water, gas, electrics or communications penetrate through a building’s fire resistant compartment lines, it is vitally important to ensure that the hole is appropriately sealed with a suitable fire stopping solution. Both the Building Regulations and the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order require that the person fitting fire-stopping products is competent to do so and third party certification is the accepted means of demonstrating competency.

The BM TRADA Q-Mark fire stopping installation scheme is based on training an individual who takes responsibility for the training and work carried out by a number of operatives. The scheme is designed to ensure that fire stopping solutions are being fitted correctly, in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

Scheme main aims:

• Provides installers with a strong competitive advantage enabling you to provide proof of the quality of your installation work
• Shows due diligence on your part by demonstrating that your installation work enables the product to continue to meet fire resistance requirements
• Provides confidence to building owners, specifiers and the responsible person that fire compartment lines have been properly sealed
• BM TRADA, widely recognized and accepted as a leading provider of third-party certification.
