Residential Fire Risk Assessment
What is a Fire Door Certificate?
A Fire Door Certificate (FDC) is an official document issued by a certified fire safety engineer confirming that your fire doors have been inspected, tested, and verified as compliant with UK fire safety regulations.
It confirms that the door, frame, seals, hardware, and installation meet the required fire-resistance ratings, such as FD30 or FD60, indicating how long the door can withstand fire and smoke.
Why a Fire Door Certificate Matters
For landlords, property managers, and residential/commercial building owners, maintaining compliant fire doors is a legal duty under UK fire safety legislation.
Non-certified or defective fire doors can lead to:
Failure to contain fire and smoke
Higher risk to occupants
Voided insurance claims
Legal penalties
Failed fire risk assessments
A valid Fire Door Certificate ensures every fire door performs as intended during an emergency.

What happens if my fire door fails the inspection?
The door must be repaired or replaced. The certificate cannot be issued until all components are safe and compliant.
Will I receive an inspection report?

Can tenants or caretakers be responsible for fire door compliance?
No. The legal responsibility remains with the landlord, responsible person, or building owner, although an agent may manage the process.
