Fire Door Signage in Retford: questions

Can I use any fire door sign?

Use mandatory blue-and-white signs consistent with BS ISO 7010 and the building's existing signage.

It depends on the number of doors and access. Tell us what you need and we will give you the earliest date when you call, and confirm it in writing.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Retford?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Retford is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those buildings.
