New fire door safety regulations 2022
T&M Fire Solutions provide an end-to-end service, tailored to the needs of each client, to provide assurance that their buildings are meeting the required standards in relation to fire protection in everything from single spaces within buildings to property portfolios. As The Fire Safety Regulations 2022 has now become a legal requirement (as of 23rd January 2023) we’ve put together an overview of what the changes are and what it means to your business, for property owners and operators of residential buildings.
The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 will make it a legal requirement from 23 January 2023 for responsible persons for all multi-occupied residential buildings in England with storeys over 11 metres in height to:
· Undertake quarterly checks of all fire doors (including self-closing devices) in the common parts
· Undertake – on a best endeavour basis – annual checks of all flat entrance doors (including self-closing devices) that lead onto a building’s common parts.
The regulations will also require responsible persons to provide to residents of all multi-occupied residential buildings with two or more sets of domestic premises (that have common parts) information on the importance of fire doors to a building’s fire safety.
