If you’ve completed the FDIS Diploma in Fire Doors and passed the final examination, you’re ready to apply to become an FDIS Certificated Fire Door Inspector. The FDIS have been operating since 2012 and are well recognised in various industries and by individuals who have responsibility for the safety of their buildings.
Each certified FDIS inspector is subject to a thorough application, training, assessment and examination process, to ensure they are competent to carry out fire door inspections under the FDIS Competent Person Certification Scheme.
Once an inspector has met the required standard and passed all levels of approval, they are then added to the FDIS Certified Fire Door Inspector Register, which is available so end users can verify the status of an FDIS Certified Fire Door Inspector.
