Fire door regulations vary across different regions in the UK but the need for safety remains the same.

For new builds/extensions or existing buildings fire doors are a crucial component of building fire safety systems, they are governed by various building codes and standards that include the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.

Key aspects of fire door safety regulations in the UK include:

• Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (RRFSO): This legislation places the responsibility for fire safety on employers, building owners or managers in commercial spaces.
• Penalties for Non-Compliance: Failure to comply with fire door safety regulations can include legal action and fines as a lack of building fire safety puts lives at risk in the event of a fire.
• Fire Door Certification: In the UK, fire doors are usually certified to British Standard BS 476 or European Standard EN 1634, certification helps to ensure doors have been tested for their fire resistance properties.

Why Your Commercial Space Needs Fire Doors

Fire doors installation is critical for commercial spaces not only to abide by the UK regulations but to protect assets and occupants.

Fire doors are designed to slow and stop the rapid spread of fire and smoke throughout a building. Fire doors are vital for increasing the time that occupants have to evacuate by creating protected escape routes, allowing people to exit the building.

Fire doors not only protects lives but also safeguards property and assets by containing the fire within certain areas of the building helping to minimise damage to equipment, infrastructure and reducing the potential repair costs.

Insurance providers often require businesses to implement fire safety measures that can include the installation of fire doors. Failure to comply with such requirements can lead to increased insurance premiums costing you money overtime.

Along with saving you money and protecting assets, having well maintained fire safety systems in buildings will give you peace of mind knowing that you have safeguarded the facility as best as possible incase of an emergency.
