The facts behind BS 8524 and BS EN 16034 in the UK fire curtain industry
In recent months, the UK fire curtain industry has been mired in confusion and opportunistic marketing tactics that misrepresent the facts. This situation arose following the International Fire Consultants (IFC) withdrawal from BS 8524-1 in June 2023. Unfortunately, some manufacturers and resellers in the UK have exploited this moment to propagate misleading claims designed to enhance their sales.
