The responsible person as defined by The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 has a legal responsibility to ensure all fire safety devices are correctly maintained and fit for Purpose. Fire doors should be inspected every 6 months.
Fire doors are vital for helping to prevent the spread of fire and smoke by compartmentalising sections of escape routes throughout a building. This effectively offers protection of the escape routes from fire in adjacent rooms and other areas of the building.
Why do you need a fire alarm and maintenance?
Fire doors are specified to provide smoke and fire resistance ratings as FD30 for 30 minutes and FD60 for 60 minutes.
Doors specified ratings of FD30S and FD60S are fitted with smoke seals.
In most situations 30 minutes should be enough time for safe evacuation but your fire risk assessment should identify which level of fire resistance your fire doors require.
In Specific high-risk environments, there may be a need for a level of protection to exceed 60 minutes. Steel doors are normally specified in this instance.
