Since our first fire test in 1967, we've been the leading manufacturer of wooden fireproof doors. With seven Benor/ATG certificates obtained in accordance with NBN 713.020, we launched the widest range of Belgian wooden fireproof interior doors on the market.
Long before the new EI1 legislation came into force, we began working intensively on EI1 fire tests in accordance with European standard EN1634. By 2024, we were proud to have successfully completed over 160 EI1 fire tests. These successful tests are grouped together in seven new European EI1 Benor/ATG certificates to EN 13501-2.
New EI1 Legislation: What does it imply?
On June 23, 2022, the Royal Decree regarding the transition to EI1 fire-resistant doors was published. This decree paved the way for the adoption of European fire doors. The key takeaway is that RF doors compliant with NBN 713.020 may be used in certain cases, but only by choosing EI1 doors can you always ensure compliance with the new European fire safety regulations.
