As a mandatory fire protection product, foreign trade exports need to meet the strict certification and compliance requirements of the target market, and if the relevant standards are ignored, it may lead to risks such as customs clearance blockage and project acceptance failure. At present, the world's mainstream certification systems include Russian GOST, EU CE, USU UL, Southeast Asian SNI, etc., and the requirements vary significantly in different regions.
The core requirement for fire doors in the Russian market is to pass GOST certification, which covers all dimensions of product design, material, fire resistance and other dimensional testing, and requires Russian test reports and certification certificates. Pilot Door has optimized the structural design of steel fire doors for the Russian market, improved low temperature resistance, and ensured normal use in an environment of minus 30°C. In addition, the Russian fire department also requires product labels to be described in Russian, clarifying the fire resistance level, manufacturer and other information.
The core certification for the EU market is CE certification, which must comply with the EN 1634 standard, which has strict regulations on fire resistance limits, sealing performance, environmental protection indicators, etc. of fire doors. Wooden fire doors need to meet the additional E0 environmental protection requirements to avoid excessive formaldehyde; Stainless steel and steel doors are RoHS compliant to limit the amount of hazardous substances. Pilot Door Industry CE certified fire doors have entered Germany, France and other markets, supporting multilingual installation manuals and test reports to ensure that the project successfully passes the local fire protection acceptance.
The U.S. market is subject to UL certification, which is known for its rigorous fire resistance testing and requires fire doors to remain structurally intact and protect against flames and fumes within a specified period of time. UL certification is a lengthy and costly process, but global recognition is key to entering the premium market in North America. In addition, the Southeast Asian market needs to pay attention to local certifications such as SNI (Indonesia) and SIRIM (Malaysia), and some countries accept CE or GOST certification mutual recognition, but specific requirements need to be confirmed in advance.
In addition to certification, compliance requirements include product identification, customs clearance documents, packaging standards, and more. The product needs to be marked with certification marks, fire resistance levels, production dates and other information, customs clearance documents need to include commercial invoices, packing lists, certification reports, certificates of origin, etc., and the packaging needs to meet the requirements of cross-border transportation moisture and loss prevention. Pilot Door Industry provides one-stop export supporting services, from certification to customs clearance material preparation, to help customers overcome compliance barriers.
