The appropriate product conformity marking (such as UKCA, UKNI+CE or CE) is required under the Construction Products Regulation (CPR) which applies to construction products that are made available on the market within Europe.
The Conformity label and Declaration of Performance (DoP) state product performance in the following fields (where applicable).
It has been possible to conformity mark external fire rated door sets since November 2016 and it became mandatory in November 2019. External doors acting as escape doors fitted with escape hardware must be conformity marked. Conformity marking does not apply to interior door sets at this time and it is not possible to conformity mark door assemblies or door leaves. In isolation conformity marking does not offer the full advantages of certification, particularly in terms of traceability, information to support maintenance and interchangeability of components.
Must be tested to BS EN 1935, should be used on fire or smoke doors and on all escape routes.
Overhead and electromagnetic closing devices and door co-ordinators must be tested to BS EN 1154/55/58.
Panic and emergency exit devices intended for use on escape route doors can be conformity marked and will be tested to either EN 1125 or EN 179.
Check for other Conformity marked hardware (e.g. locks and latches)
