Behind closed doors: Steel doors - an interdisciplinary engineering design challenge by Chris Vurley BEng (Hons) MSc IEng MIED, design engineer at Profab Access

摘要

Historically, the UK steel door manufacturing industry has had the reputation of operating from metal-bashing workshops, providing goods to a largely unregulated market-place. Over recent years there has been a drive for professionalism and regulation from both within the industry and from the sectors affected by its activities, in particular those related to insurance and environment. One of the most pertinent changes in the industry at the moment is the Construction Products Regulation, requiring CE marking of steel doors used in certain applications.
