Business Safety Week 2023: Halspan Verified, Quality doors you can trust

Business Safety Week runs from 11th – 17th September. It's an opportunity for NFCC, supported by Fire and Rescue Services to make small and medium sized businesses aware of their fire safety responsibilities in the workplace, and is a chance to let these businesses know that there is help and advice available for them all year round.

Halspan is one of the world’s leading suppliers of the complete system of quality door components – from door blanks and cores to seals, hardware and steel  door frames. To help support business meet their fire safety responsibilities, Halspan has developed a quality assurance scheme called Halspan® Verified, which is a first for the industry.

Answering the call for a more joined-up approach to regulatory compliance, in which all the partners in the supply chain take accountability for the delivery of compliant quality doors, Halspan Verified ensures that every stage – from production, testing, specification and  supply to fabrication, installation, inspection and ongoing maintenance – complies with building regulations.

Halspan Verified provides:

• Complete system of quality door components (including door blanks, door cores, essential hardware and seals), all manufactured to the highest standards and tested together to ensure compliance, and all supplied from just one source.

• Wide choice of door configuration options – choose from a range of exemplar door systems configured to your exact specifications or customise your own door system using our Product Selector tool

• Customised specifications in NBS and generic formats, CAD detailing, BIM models and other supporting literature resources to make specification easy

• Expert guidance on how to fabricate doors, and install and maintain doorsets and door assemblies correctly, in a way that ensures compliance

• Real time verification of fabrication, installation and maintenance, using our Halspan Tracker asset management system, app and Halspan Smart Tag, providing a cradle to grave quality assurance trail

• Fabrication, installation and inspection/maintenance training from technical experts.

Complementing existing third-party certification, Halspan Verified sets a new quality standard for door supply chains everywhere, both now and in the future, with an ongoing test programme designed to satisfy and exceed the changing demands of regulatory bodies worldwide.

A key contributor to improved fire safety in buildings, Halspan Verified provides businesses with the following:

• Regulators – with the reassurance that life-saving recommendations are being acted on and met

• Specifiers – with the widest scope of compliant door configurations, based on over 750 tests, and the peace of mind that the door system products specified are – and will remain – fit for purpose throughout their service life

• Insurers – with documented assurance of quality, verified from specification all the way through to ongoing maintenance, which complements third-party certification

• Building owners – with a record of inspection and maintenance, verifying doors as fit for purpose, ensuring compliance while providing peace of mind

• The industry as a whole with a way of identifying compliant quality doors everyone can trust, improving building fire safety.

Going hand in hand with Halspan® Verified, the Halspan® Tracker asset management system provides a complete digital record of an asset’s quality assurance journey – from fabrication and installation to inspection and ongoing maintenance – in accordance with BS 8644-1 the new British Standard for digital management of fire safety information.
