GTFD advocate 3 types of inspections:
Click on tabs for more information!
Compliance Inspections of NEW Installations:
Type 1: A prescriptive one, including invasive aspects, that would typically take place during installation or soon after the doors / passive elements have been installed to see if they are as specified and intended to meet Building Regulation and other required standards. This would normally methodically compare what has been installed with the specification details and the manufacturer’s sponsored UKAS or equivalent evidence of performance to confirm compliance or raise any issues.
Compliance Inspections of EXISTING Installations:
Type 2: A robust but potentially pragmatic and flexible one, which could be purely visual or may contain invasive aspects, carried out on existing fire doors / passive elements in occupied buildings where there is often no evidence of performance and where no, or little, information exists. This type of inspection is to comply with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (hereafter referred to as the FSO); assessing if the condition of each fire door, fire damper, barrier or seal is suitable and sufficient in terms of meeting and maintaining the requirements of both the building’s fire risk assessment and its fire evacuation strategy to protect relevant people and ensure safe evacuation or protection in the event of a fire.
ONGOING Inspections:
Type 3: Undertaken on fire doors / passive elements that have already been Type 1 or Type 2 inspected, where the doors / fire dampers, barriers or seals are known to meet / have met the standard of fire compliance required and where an audit trail exists. This type of inspection, often referred to as a ‘PPM check’, is intended to ensure that suitably compliant fire doors /fire dampers, barriers or seals are maintained to a recognised, functional standard, to comply with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations and FSO, under Articles 17 and 38, which require that fire doors and other life safety components are systematically managed and maintained in an efficient and effective way to minimise life safety risk.
