As building safety standards continue to evolve, fire door compliance remains one of the most crucial aspects of protecting people and property. With updated guidance under the Building Safety Act and the latest BS 8214 and BS EN 1634 standards, ensuring proper installation and maintenance has never been more important.
What’s Changed
Recent regulation updates emphasise the responsibility of duty holders, landlords, and contractors to ensure fire doors are correctly installed, maintained, and inspected. Non-compliance can lead not only to legal action but also to life-threatening risks in the event of a fire.
From correct frame and seal installation to certified hardware and labeling, every detail must meet strict requirements. The introduction of ‘golden thread’ digital records also means that every installation now requires traceable documentation from start to finish.
