The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 mandate quarterly fire door checks. Here's how to implement a compliant inspection programme.. Fire Door Inspection Requirements Since January 2023, responsible persons for high rise residential buildings must check fire doors quarterly (communal) and annually (flat entrance doors). What to Check Door closer — self closing mechanism functional Gaps — max 3mm when closed (except threshold) Intumescent strips and smoke seals — intact and undamaged Glazing — fire rated glass with correct markings Hinges — CE marked fire rated, minimum 3 per door Letter plates — fire tested if fitted Record Keeping All inspections must be documented and records retained.
