PWIDF, the architectural ironmongery and fire door solutions branch of Premier Forest Products, has maintained its Secured by Design (SBD) accreditation for the second year running.
With the Police Preferred Specification, SBD provides a recognised standard for security products that can deter and reduce crime. As part of the scheme, products are not only tested to relevant security standards, but also fully certified by an independent third-party certification body, accredited by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS).
PWIDF brand director, Dave Timson, said: “I’m extremely proud to be re-joining the Secured by Design initiative. Safety is at the heart of what we do, so it is increasingly important to us that the security of buildings and their immediate surroundings is to the highest standard.
“This reaffirms our ongoing commitment to delivering enhanced security and performance, but in addition to this, our latest BS EN 1634-3 smoke tests have successfully achieved Sa3 and Sa4 smoke control classifications, further strengthening the protection and performance of our doorsets.
