Ensuring Compliance in the UK

Fire doors play a crucial role in preventing the spread of fire and smoke within a building, protecting occupants and allowing for safe evacuation. It is essential for building owners and managers to understand the importance of regular fire door inspections to ensure compliance with regulations and to maintain a safe environment. Here, we provide you with a comprehensive overview of fire door inspection surveys and compliance requirements in the UK:

Regulatory Requirements

In the UK, fire safety regulations mandate that all fire doors must be installed, maintained, and operated correctly to ensure their effectiveness in the event of a fire. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 places a legal duty on building owners and managers to ensure that fire doors are properly maintained and comply with relevant standards.

The Importance of Fire Door Inspection Surveys

Regular fire door inspection surveys are essential to identify any issues or deficiencies that may affect the performance of fire doors. At Ramli Fire our inspectors have the necessary knowledge, qualifications, and experience in fire door inspection and maintenance.

During our fire door inspections, our inspectors will check various components of the fire door, including the door leaf, frame, seals, hinges, closing devices, and signage. Common issues that may be identified during inspections include damaged or missing components, improper installation, gaps around the door, and signs of wear and tear.

Our professionals will provide expert advice, in-depth assessments, and recommendations for maintaining compliance and improving fire safety in compliance with BS 476 and BS EN 1634

Fire door inspection surveys are a critical aspect of fire safety management in buildings. By taking a proactive approach to fire door maintenance and compliance, you can help create a safer environment for occupants and ensure that your premises are adequately protected in the event of a fire.
