Understanding Regulation 10 Requirements
The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 place specific duties on Responsible Persons, particularly for buildings with a top storey more than 11m above ground level. Regulation 10 requires:
Annual Checks of Flat Entrance Doors:
Ensuring self-closing devices function properly.
Checking for damage or defects that could compromise fire resistance.
Quarterly Checks of Communal Area Fire Doors:
Monitoring wear and tear in high-traffic areas.
Identifying and addressing maintenance needs promptly.
Flame Risk Solutions offers a seamless approach to these checks. While the regulations allow for basic visual checks by non-specialists, our professional inspections go deeper, uncovering potential issues that might otherwise be missed. We ensure your fire doors meet both the practical and legal standards required for long-term safety.
