The Door and Hardware Institute (DHI), in partnership with Intertek (through its Warnock Hersey Mark), has developed a comprehensive training and certification program for individuals performing inspections of swinging fire doors with builders hardware. This Fire Door Assembly Inspection class (FDAIc) is designed to train inspectors in performing and documenting the inspections. NFPA 80 Standard for Fire Doors and Other Opening Protectives 2007 Edition now has requirements for the ongoing annual safety inspections of fire door assemblies and will raise the level of life safety in buildings and structures.

DHI is conducting these AFDAIP training classes and, upon completion of the course, students are eligible to enroll in Intertek’s professional Certified Fire Door Inspector Program. This training and certification program is open to all interested parties. Log on to DHI’s website at www.dhi.org for more information and to register for the training classes.
