Fire Door Regulation & Compliance
Fire door safety is governed by stringent regulations to ensure the safety of building occupants. The key regulations include:
- Building Regulations (Part B)
- Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and its amendments
- BS 9999: Code of Practice for Fire Safety in the Design, Management, and Use of Buildings
As a Responsible Person, it is your duty to ensure regular fire door inspections and timely remedial work. Non-compliance with these regulations not only endangers lives but can also result in substantial fines or criminal charges.
The Fire Safety Act 2021 mandates that flat entrance doors be included in the Fire Risk Assessment as required by the Fire Safety Order. Additionally, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 impose further obligations:
Quartely Checks
Quarterly Checks: From January 23, 2023, it is a legal requirement for the Responsible Person in multi-occupied buildings over 11 metres to conduct quarterly inspections of all fire doors in communal areas.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Fire Door Maintenance and Servicing
According to the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, fire doors in multi-occupied buildings over 11 metres should undergo quarterly inspections in communal areas and annual inspections of flat entrance doors. It is also recommended that all fire doors, regardless of building type, be inspected at least annually or more frequently if the doors are in high-traffic areas. Regular inspections help to identify any issues early on, ensuring that the doors remain compliant with safety standards.
The main regulations governing fire door maintenance in the UK include the Building Regulations (Part B), the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and BS 9999. The Fire Safety Act 2021 also mandates that flat entrance doors be included in the Fire Risk Assessment. Additionally, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 require regular checks to ensure all fire doors, including flat entrance doors, are in good working order. Failure to comply with these regulations can result in legal penalties, fines, or even criminal charges.
A comprehensive fire door inspection involves checking several key components, including the door frame, seals, hinges, and self-closing mechanisms. Inspectors will look for any signs of damage, warping, or gaps around the door, ensuring they are within the permissible limits (usually 3mm around the perimeter). The inspection also includes testing the door’s closing and latching functionality to confirm it closes fully and automatically. Any issues identified during the inspection must be addressed promptly to maintain compliance and safety.
Common fire door defects that may require repair include:
- Damaged or missing intumescent seals: These seals expand in the event of a fire to close gaps and prevent smoke and flames from passing through.
- Faulty hinges or closing devices: These are essential for ensuring the door closes correctly. Damaged or worn hinges can prevent proper closure.
- Gaps around the door: Gaps that are too large can compromise the door’s effectiveness in a fire. The recommended gap should be no more than 3mm around the sides and top.
- Warped or damaged door leaves: A warped or damaged door can fail to close correctly or provide an adequate seal against fire and smoke.
To ensure your fire doors comply with current regulations, it is essential to:
- Schedule regular inspections by a qualified professional to assess the condition of your fire doors.
- Conduct routine maintenance and repairs to address any defects or damage promptly.
- Keep records of all inspections, repairs, and maintenance activities to demonstrate compliance with regulations such as the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022.
- Inform residents about the importance of fire doors and ensure they do not tamper with or obstruct fire doors in any way.
It is highly recommended to use a professional fire door service and competent person for any repairs or maintenance work. Fire doors are complex safety devices that must meet strict standards, and improper repairs can compromise their effectiveness and lead to non-compliance with fire safety regulations. Professionals have the training, experience, and certification needed to ensure that all repairs meet the relevant standards and regulations.
BS 9999 is the British Standard for fire safety in the design, management, and use of buildings. It provides a framework for risk-based fire safety management and outlines best practices for the installation, maintenance, and inspection of fire doors, among other safety measures. Adhering to BS 9999 helps ensure that fire doors and other fire safety systems are effective in protecting building occupants and property during a fire.
