Fire Door Information

  • Fire doors are an integral part of a building’s fire protection strategy, designed to close securely against their frame or rebate stop. They are an engineered safety device.
  • A fire door is a door with a fire resistance rating which is used as a component of a passive fire prevention system to allow for safe exit from a building and to restrict the spread of smoke and fire between separate compartments of a building.
  • Fire doors restrict the spread of fire and smoke, providing extra minutes for safe evacuation. Also fire doors allow those who are unable to escape the building a chance to seek refuge.

 

Property Protection

  • Fire doors also limit structural damage, aiding firefighting efforts by containing the fire within specific compartments. Also fire doors restrict oxygen feeding the fire.

 

Legal Compliance

  • Under UK regulations, it’s a legal requirement to install and maintain compliant fire doors. Failure to comply can result in severe penalties.

 

Passive Fire Protection Explained

  • Passive fire protection refers to built-in features within a building designed to prevent or slow down the spread of fire and smoke. Unlike active fire protection systems like sprinklers or fire alarms, which require activation or electricity to work, passive systems are always at work.

 

Here are the key components:

  • Fire Doors: These are specially designed doors that resist the spread of fire and smoke between compartments or areas in a building.
  • Passive Protection: Includes fire doors, walls, and floors that contain or slow the spread of fire and smoke.
  • The main goal is to compartmentalise a fire, keeping it contained in one area for as long as possible, thereby providing time for people to evacuate and for emergency services to arrive.

Regulation 10: Fire Doors

Legislative Basis: Falls under the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, as an enforcement of Article 24 of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.

 

Scope:

  • Applies to multi-occupied residential buildings in England only with storeys over 11 metres in height.

 

Key Provisions:

  • Requires quarterly checks of all fire doors in common parts.
  • Stipulates annual checks, on a best endeavour basis, of all flat entrance doors that lead onto a building’s common parts.
  • Obliges responsible persons to provide information to residents on the importance of fire doors.

 

Purpose:

  • Designed to rigorously enforce fire door safety, especially in light of findings from the Grenfell Tower Inquiry.

 

Additional Context

  • ‘Best endeavours‘ implies the responsible person must make a reasonable attempt to engage with residents for annual checks of flat entrance doors.
  • The regulation accentuates the role of fire doors in preventing the spread of fire and smoke, bolstering the existing duties under the Fire Safety Order.
  • Issues of access, if encountered, should be documented by the responsible person as evidence of effort to comply with the regulation.

 

Minimum Requirements for Inspections:

  • Identifying obvious damage or issues with fire doors during inspections is imperative. More detailed checks may be required based on initial findings.
