Fire Doors:
In the UK, fire door maintenance and inspection are governed by several regulations and guidelines to ensure that fire doors are functioning properly to protect lives and property in case of a fire. The key regulations and best practices for fire door maintenance and inspection include:
​
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005
​
Building Regulations (Part B: Fire Safety)
​
BS 9999: Code of Practice for Fire Safety in the Design, Management, and Use of Buildings
​

​
​Ensuring that fire doors are properly maintained and inspected is a key element of fire safety management in the UK. Regular inspections, maintenance, and documentation are essential to comply with the legal requirements and to safeguard the building's occupants in the event of a fire. The responsible person must ensure that fire doors are fully functional and meet regulatory standards at all times
​
Fire And Smoke Dampers:
In the UK, the rules and regulations governing the installation, maintenance, and inspection of fire and smoke dampers are critical for ensuring that buildings are adequately protected from the spread of fire and smoke. These regulations ensure that fire and smoke dampers function correctly, preventing the rapid spread of fire and smoke through ventilation ducts, which could compromise the safety of building occupants. The rules and regulations include:
​
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005
​
Building Regulations (Part B: Fire Safety)
​
BS 9999: Code of Practice for Fire Safety in the Design, Management, and Use of Buildings
BS 9991: Fire Safety in the Design, Management, and Use of Residential Buildings
Compartmentation Surveys:
In the UK, compartmentation is a key fire safety strategy that involves dividing a building into separate fire-resistant sections to prevent the spread of fire and smoke, protecting occupants and enabling safe evacuation. The rules and regulations governing compartmentation are set out in several key pieces of legislation and guidance documents:
​
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005
​
Building Regulations (Part B: Fire Safety)
​
BS 9999: Code of Practice for Fire Safety in the Design, Management, and Use of Buildings
