There should be product labels, quality inspection qualification marks, and quality certification marks in designated locations. A qualified wooden fire retardant door should have an intact appearance without any damage. The surface should be clean and free of planing marks, burrs, and hammer marks. The corners and seams should be tightly and smoothly joined.

Check the certificates
Fire doors, including 6 panel interior fire doors, are products that are covered by the type approval system. The products need to undergo type approval testing before they are sold. Generally, the type approval report describes the specifications, dimensions, composition, materials, and photos of the sample in detail. When purchasing, you should request the type approval report from the manufacturer.
