Fire doors are a critical part of a buildings fire compartmentation. If fire doors are not installed and maintained correctly, the consequences could be devastating. That is why there are specific laws and regulations that govern fire doors in buildings. Let's take a closer look at these in a bit more detail.
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (FSO)
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (FSO) makes fire doors a legal requirement in non-domestic properties, businesses, and multi-occupied residential buildings. It mandates that the “Responsible Person” (building owner or manager) ensures these doors are correctly installed, kept in good repair, and regularly maintained to prevent fire and smoke spread. The FSO mandates that any person in control of a premises must assess fire risks and maintain all fire-resisting and escape doors in an "efficient state, efficient working order, and good repair".
The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022
Responsible Persons, including both building owners and other persons having control of the premises were required to comply with the regulations from 23 January 2023. Any breach of the regulations is a criminal offence if the breach places one or more relevant persons (for example residents, staff or visitors) at risk of death or serious injury in the event of fire.
