Scare mongering

[SeaBass]

The current edition of the Fire Door Inspection Scheme news letter states the following:

?Today, fire risk assessments are a legal requirement under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order. Fire doors should be inspected by a certificated professional as part of the assessment to ensure they perform as intended in the event of a fire.?

This is clearly piffle designed to scare RPs in to spending money that they do not need to spend.  The FDIS aren't the only trade association/scheme to make such inaccurate and misleading claims, so isn't it time that trading standards or the Advertising standards Authority took action?

A professional certified in what? Fire Door inspecting? It's a bit like fire risk assessors issuing Fire Risk Assessment framed certificates and being told a year later they have expired.

Maybe if someone was to make a formal complaint to a relevant organisation then they might be investigated, over to you or anyone else out there to make the complaint.

Am I going senile or was a certain company offering fire door inspection courses
