Quarterly Communal Fire Door Checks in Welwyn Garden City: questions

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Welwyn Garden City?

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

What records do I get?

Do the checks apply in Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland?

No. Regulation 10 is English law. Fire safety law elsewhere in the UK differs in scope, and many landlords and factors adopt the same quarterly routine as good practice.
