Fire doors do not need to be replaced if they meet the requirements of Building Regulations at the time of installation
The UK Government has updated its guidance under the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, clarifying expectations around fire doors in residential and multi-occupied buildings.
The revised guidance, published this month, reinforces that fire doors do not necessarily need to be replaced if they meet the requirements of Building Regulations at the time of installation and have since been appropriately inspected and maintained.
This update is intended to reassure building owners, managers, and residents while underlining the importance of regular checks to ensure that fire doors remain in good working order.
As with all fire safety measures, fire doors must be kept in good working order and in good repair.
