1. Only order from a single source
From 1 July, it is a legal requirement for external doorsets, including fire escape and emergency doors, to be CE marked in compliance with BS EN 14351-1:2006. To achieve this they must be supplied from a single source, or be a complete doorset package supplied under the responsibility of a single source, comprising door, frame, hardware, glass and seals.
2. Internal doors are not included
Be aware that internal doorsets and fire-resisting doorsets cannot be CE marked for their performance characteristics for the time being, until the harmonised standards for these products are approved. The British Woodworking Association says this is expected at the end of 2014.
