Event description:

Following our highly successful webinar on the Draft Building Safety Bill, we are pleased to announce that Rutland will be hosting a free webinar to unravel the topic of dual-certification testing.

Our focus on this topic aims to address the ongoing confusion over dual-certification testing schemes – fire and security, for example. We will be speaking to industry experts about PAS24 testing and the important schemes introduced by Secured by Design (SBD) following the Grenfell disaster.

There will be a lot to unpack within the webinar, and we would welcome your questions, which will be answered by our panel of specialists during this free event.
