New product accreditation
Maintaining a consistent proactive schedule of new product releases can be challenging, and the requirement for accreditation of fire doors adds another layer of complexity. That's why we like to support forward-looking door manufacturers, partnering to achieve successful certification of new fire doorsets.
Powering progress with NPD
We all know that new product development is at the heart of business progress and expansion. But maintaining a consistent proactive schedule of new product releases can be challenging. And in our industry, the requirement for accreditation of fire doors adds another layer of complexity. That’s why we like to support forward-looking door manufacturers, partnering to achieve successful certification of new fire door sets. It’s our shared future and we think it’s worth investing in.
Request a deep-dive consultation
In our deep-dive sessions, we go over your plans and ambitions for development of new doors and the testing that will be required to achieve accreditation. Our specialists in fire door testing can advise on all relevant considerations and the most straightforward paths to secure the desired certification. During the consultation, we also confirm the comprehensive support that Rutland can provide throughout the entire journey of door testing and accreditation.
Partnering for successful certification
Under our joint-testing programme, we take the stress out of the complexities of specification writing, booking of tests at the test houses, and ensuring a successful outcome to the tests themselves. We even invest financially in some joint testing to ease the burden on you. At every stage, our aim is to share the pressure that testing and accreditation can represent, and enable the successful launch of another high-performing fire door. It’s what we’re all about.
