What does FD30 mean?

FD30 means literally: Fire Door 30 Minute; the door has been tested for a maximum time of 30 minutes. The same goes for FD60 e.t.c.

This is different to FD30S, where the ‘S‘ denotes smoke protection too. Doors test with smoke protection have a special seal to stop the spread of smoke too. You must check whether it is FD30 OR FD30S to satisfy building regulations.
