New Fire Door Regulations 2023

The new fire door regulations in England as of 2023 are part of the "Building Safety Act 2021" and require a higher level of safety in buildings over 11 meters tall. The regulations include provisions for regular fire door inspections, as well as mandatory fire door upgrades if they do not meet current safety standards. The rules also require the installation of fire door closers, intumescent seals, and appropriate fire-resistant glass in fire doors. Building owners are responsible for ensuring compliance with these regulations.

As fire safety regulations and standards continue to evolve, it is essential to ensure that your building's fire doors are up-to-date and compliant. Engaging an FDIS-certified fire door inspector can help you stay on top of these changes and mitigate any risks to your property and occupants. With their expertise and up-to-date knowledge of the latest regulations, an FDIS inspector can provide peace of mind and ensure that your building is fully compliant. By having a professional inspect your fire doors, you can ensure that they are installed and maintained correctly, reducing the risk of costly fines, legal action or closure of your business.

Fire doors are essential in keeping your property and everyone in it safe in the event of a fire. A fire door inspection can help to identify any potential risks or weaknesses in the fire doors and ensure they are functioning correctly. This is important because defects in fire doors can lead to the spread of fire and smoke and allow for the escape of toxic gases. Having a fire door inspection conducted regularly will help to protect your property and the lives of those in it from the dangers of fire.

Under the Fire Safety Order, the need for maintaining Fire safety in non-domestic dwellings falls to the responsible person, such as

The Owner of the building or the business manager

Head or Principle of a School or university

Landlord or lady of a pub or a hotel manager

Facilities, property managers, or a contractor with any degree of control over any premises.
