BS 476-22 - No longer acceptable for external fire rated doors?

[Guest Suttonfire]

The following indicates that a fire door tested to BS 476-22 can no longer be accepted for an external fire door, i.e. a door which opens onto a balcony with a single direction of travel in a block of flats: https://www.robust-uk.com/new-ce-marking-regulations-for-external-fire-rated-doors/?utm_content=buffer85944&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_campaign=buffer

Is this correct? I can see no mention in the MHCLG guidance issued in 2020 of BS 476-22 not being a suitable standard for fire doors which open externally.

Thanks Tom,

Ive just had a look and have asked for clarification. I would be interested to hear your views on this. Thanks

Its something I would not give too much consideration to, as CE certification will not be relevant to UK goods soon as we are now out of EC completely. It may be different if you work in Europe or are a manufacturer who wishes to sell to Europe. I would wait to see what the UK decides to to do in the future.
