Fire Door Survey & Fire Door Inspection Report - Reading, BerkshireFire Door: Inspection Guide

It is required that suitably fire rated fire doors are suitably fitted in the required locations to meet the required fire safety building regulations.

These locations and fire ratings are determined by approved building regulations, type of premises and a suitable & sufficient fire risk assessment.







Fire Door: Rating Guide

1. FD30 = 30 minute 'fire rated'
2. FD60 = 60 minute 'fire rated'
3. FD30(s) = c/w 'smoke seals'
4. FD60(s) = c/w 'smoke seals'


  • Smoke seals fire rating must equal the fire door fire rating to which it is being installed.

  • Intumescent strips fire rating must equal the fire door fire rating to which it is being installed.


That is to say:

  • 30 minute seals for FD30 only
  • 60 minute seals for FD60 only

Any deviation will invalidate your fire door ratings.
