Fire Door Maintenance

Fire doors are a critical component of the fire strategy of a building.

Article 17 of The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 states, “Where necessary to safeguard the safety of relevant persons the responsible person must ensure that the premises and any facilities, equipment and devices provided in respect of the premises under this Order or, subject to paragraph (6), under any other enactment, including any enactment repealed or revoked by this Order, are subject to a suitable system of maintenance and are maintained in an efficient state, in efficient working order and in good repair”.

This includes fire doors.

BS8214 – Timber-based fire door assemblies – Code of practice, Section 13 Maintenance states, “doors do deteriorate, and this is most likely to occur during the occupation of the building since they are used in locations along pedestrian transit routes where they might be subject to significant damage or normal wear and tear” and the standard continues “it is important, therefore, for inspection, maintenance and repair of any damage to be undertaken regularly if the required fire resistance is to be maintained”.

BS8214 states that “A competent person should undertake inspection and maintenance”.

A competent person is someone with sufficient training and experience or knowledge and other qualities that allow them to undertake the task.
