About FDIS
The Fire Door Inspection Scheme (FDIS) was launched as a joint venture by the British Woodworking Federation (BWF) and the Guild of Architectural Ironmongers (GAI) in 2012. We aim to transform people’s knowledge about how and why fire doors work and the potential dangers of getting it wrong.

I have been in the door industry for 28 years and I thought I knew most things about fire doors so I was very reluctant to sign up for the FDIS diploma. However, as a big supporter of the BWF-CERTIFIRE Scheme I thought it only right that I should give it a go. I must admit that I did actually learn a lot of things, especially about the ancillary products that are used with our fire doors, as I worked through the modules. It also made me think about the things that we do and allowed us to identify some significant business opportunities that we would probably have missed if I had not worked my way through the FDIS Diploma modules.
