FireDNA is an award winning Passive Fire Product Monitoring System and Mobile App that has been developed for everyone involved in Passive Fire Product Specification, Manufacture, Installation, Inspection, Management and Maintenance. As well as for those that live and work within environments where Passive Fire Products are installed and are now required, under new legislation, to be digitally catalogued and monitored.
FireDNA delivers that digital ‘Golden Thread’ for all Passive Fire Products in the built environment from Fire Doors, Panels and Partitioning (including all intumescent seals, glazing and ironmongery), through to Fire Cables, Dampers and Ductwork.
FireDNA software catalogues Manufacturers product data, digitally shares it with Contractors and Installers, who in turn add their installation data, passing that onto Building Owners, Facilities Management Teams and Tenant Management Organisations.
That data can then be used by Building Control, Maintenance Teams, Fire Inspectors and viewed by Tenants and Residents alike, with a simple swipe of a mobile device.
FireDNA digitally links everyone in the chain of responsibility and creates a ‘Golden Thread’ of information across the full product lifecycle from cradle to grave.
There are many benefits in using FireDNA which has been designed and developed to allow:
Architects & Specifiers: To specify ‘digitally enabled’ passive fire products using NBS Chorus by searching NBS Source for ‘Data Communication Products’ with two new clauses;
- Pr_70_75_20 Data tags
• Pr_70_75_22 Digitally enabled data tags
The FireDNA monitoring system can be specified to be added to fire rated products, such as Doors and Doorsets which initiates the ‘Golden Thread’ of information. This specification can then be passed along the chain of responsibility. This helps to ensure that Architects and Specifiers passive fire product specifications are enforced from inception to installation and sign-off.
Manufacturers: To centrally deliver their certificates, production data, specification PDF’s, installation guidance and 3rd party certification to Main and Sub-Contractors.
Contractors & Installers: To add installation statements, compliance / competency evidence and installation photos, which once inspected and approved, can be digitally signed-off, and handed over to their customers.
Fire Inspectors: To conduct Audits and Inspections quickly and efficiently, which automatically output to detailed MS Word Doc Reports and Excel Spreadsheets. Again with photographs and detailed descriptions of passes, failures, or required remedial works.
Building Owners, FM’s and TMO’s: To manage the compliance data and ongoing maintenance and remedial records, updates, and through their Dashboard can also assign onsite inspection or maintenance teams.
Maintenance Teams: To access work schedules and update the ‘live status’ data once remedial works are completed.
FireDNA helps to protect the public across all sectors: Residential, Commercial, Education, Healthcare, Retail and Government, giving peace-of-mind to Tenants and Residents that the passive fire products in their buildings are compliant and safe.
