Common questions in Perth

Are fire exit doors fire doors?

Not always. Final exit doors to open air often are not fire-rated, but they must still open easily and be maintained.

Do fire exit doors need panic bars?

Panic hardware to BS EN 1125 is normally used where members of the public or people unfamiliar with the building use the exit. Emergency exit devices to BS EN 179 can be suitable where users are trained staff. The fire risk assessment decides.

Does regulation 10 apply in Perth?

No. Perth is in Scotland, which has its own fire safety law. The Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 cover workplaces, HMOs and other non-domestic premises; common parts of private blocks of flats are largely outside them.

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Perth?
