This guidance is issued by the Secretary of State in accordance with Article 50 of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (the FSO).
This is a revised version of guidance on the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, which was first published in January 2023.
The guidance has been revised in the light of government concerns regarding a misunderstanding of the scope and intent of the Regulations, which has resulted in burdens on leaseholders, who have been advised to replace flat entrance doors that were not manufactured, and certificated, in accordance with current standards for new fire-resisting doors.
