Lesson 1Assembly verification: interpreting labels, cross-referencing manufacturer’s listing, and documenting missing or altered labelsGuides learners to check the full setup by reading labels, matching maker listings, and recording missing or changed labels that might cancel the fire door rating in Namibian settings.
