Apparently it’s a 60 minute seal, it’s been signed off and it’s part of a 3rd party accredited project!

From 28–30 April 2026, The Fire Safety Event (FSE) returns to ignite the halls of NEC Birmingham, bringing together the entire fire safety community under one roof. FSE is the premier destination for fire safety professionals, installers, integrators, consultants, and end users to connect, collaborate, and stay ahead of the curve. https://www.firesafetyevent.com/?utm_source=pmax&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=mcm_fse_2026&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=23552330053&gbraid=0AAAAAo25bWTEaY9f7HEZVoAvZHH8_sSCU&gclid=Cj0KCQjwkMjOBhC5ARIsADIdb3e4Yp7gQFpDobhQQmDItOqW6EKakqEgxFt0KEgdtkJv9vLwr5PpE9EaAmGvEALw_wcB
