#safety #firedoorinspection #firesafety Its fine, we had our fire doors inspected last year! From the 23rd of January 2023, it's a legal requirement for the Responsible Person for multi-occupied buildings over 11 metres to: Carry out quarterly checks of all fire doors in communal areas. Carry out annual checks on all flat entrance doors. Provide information to residents about the importance of fire doors. Doors where traffic is high are likely to be more susceptible to damage and should be checked more frequently than other doors in the building. BS9999:2017 Fire Safety in the Design, Management and Use of Buildings. Code of Practice recommends that automatic release devices are tested daily and monthly, while fire doors themselves are inspected every six-months. BS 8214:2016 Timber-based fire door assemblies. Code of practice, and guidance from the Architectural and Specialist Door Manufacturers Association (ASMA) suggest that the frequency of inspection can be determined according to the risk assessment and relative to the frequency of use of the doorway.
