Fire Door Regulations & Compliance

Fire doors are a crucial element in passive fire protection, and their design, installation, and maintenance are governed by a set of stringent regulations in the UK. These regulations aim to ensure that fire doors perform effectively in preventing the spread of fire and smoke within a building.

Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005

The primary legislation relating to fire safety in non-domestic premises in England and Wales.

This order requires that a 'responsible person' undertakes regular fire risk assessments, which includes ensuring fire doors are correctly specified, installed, and maintained.

It places the responsibility on building owners, managers, and employers to ensure that all fire safety measures, including fire doors, are adequate and effective.

British Standards (BS)

BS 8214 provides guidance on the installation of fire doors and their maintenance.

BS 9999 provides a code of practice for fire safety in the design, management, and use of buildings.

BS EN 1634-1 provides guidance and methods for fire resistance and smoke control tests for door, shutter, and openable window assemblies and elements of building hardware.

BS 476-22 provides guidance for fire tests on building materials and structures.

Building Regulations 2010 – Part B
(Fire Safety)

Relates to fire safety measures in buildings and includes provisions about fire doors.

Requires that fire doors are self-closing and are capable of resisting the spread of fire long enough for occupants to escape.

Ensures building materials and design techniques minimise the risk of fire spreading rapidly, enabling a timely evacuation.

Certification and Labelling

Fire doors should carry a label or plug from an accredited certification scheme, indicating their fire resistance rating. Common ratings include FD30 (resists fire for 30 minutes) and FD60 (resists fire for 60 minutes).

The certification ensures that the fire door has been tested under conditions that simulate a real fire scenario.

Regular Inspections and Maintenance

To remain compliant with the RRO and relevant British Standards, fire doors should be inspected regularly. The frequency of these inspections depends on usage, but doors in high-traffic areas need checking more frequently.

Maintenance and repairs must restore the door to its original fire-rated performance and not reduce its capability.

Understanding and adhering to these regulations is a legal requirement. Properly installed and maintained fire doors can save lives, protect properties, and ensure that everyone within a building has the best chance of safely escaping should a fire break out.
