Quinns Ltd is proud to announce the company achieved FIRAS certification in March 2023.
FIRAS is a voluntary, third party certification scheme that promotes good practice for the installation and maintenance of passive fire protection products. Companies are required to employ highly competent supervisors and technicians and must pass a three-stage assessment to become certified:
- Assessment of office management systems
- Assessment of workmanship of site for all trade disciplines for which certification is sought
- Competence assessment of supervisory and installation employees
FIRAS is the leading certification body for companies installing passive and active fire protection systems, and certified companies must continue to demonstrate compliance with industry standards and material/product manufacturer installation instructions in order to reassure their clients that the fire protection installed by them is correct to specification and will provide the required level of fire protection.
Kris Quinn, Managing Director commented, “We are delighted that achieving the FIRAS certification will enable us to expand our range of services.
We would like to remind our clients how important it is to ensure your firestopping is carried out by certified professionals. The Quinns team is always on hand to provide advice on a range of fire safety and compliance requirements that are essential to all businesses”.
