BM TRADA Q-Mark · Certificate 4515
Arctic Fire Limited is certified by BM TRADA — a UKAS-accredited certification body — under three Q-Mark certification schemes: 052 Fire Door Installation, 058 Fire Door Maintenance and 05B Fire Stopping Installation.
Certification means our processes, people and workmanship are independently audited against the scheme standard, year on year. Every scheme-compliant doorset and seal we install or maintain is Q-Mark labelled, registered and traceable back to the operative who carried out the work.
The distinction matters: many contractors say "accredited" loosely, or rely on self-certification. Q-Mark is third-party attestation — the strongest form of assurance available for this work, and the competency benchmark named in major clients' own contractor requirements.
Certification is held by Arctic Fire Limited, the fire safety division of Arctic Group.

What certification means day to day
Assessed operatives
Every operative is competency-assessed and signed off by an Approved Person against each task they perform, before they perform it — and re-assessed on a rolling record.
Audited annually
BM TRADA audits our processes, records and completed works. Certification is retained by evidence, not renewed by invoice.
Honest scope
Work inside the scheme is Q-Mark labelled. Anything outside it is formally notified and never passed off as certified — so your records always say exactly what they mean.
Read the certificates for yourself.

Third-party fire certification is the part that matters most for the work itself. These are the wider assessments that FM buyers, main contractors and pre-qualification portals look for.

UKAS accreditation 0012 — held by BM TRADA as our certification body. UKAS accredits certification bodies; certification bodies certify companies. We are certified, not accredited, and the distinction is worth insisting on.
