The standard changes in 2029.
DFM's certification already meets it.
When the test standard changes in 2029, DFM's EN 13501-2 evidence already meets the standard that will be in force — no transition, no gap, no uncertainty. Every competitor relying on BS 476 evidence is facing a retesting programme. DFM buyers carry zero transition risk.
