Fire Door Inspection
Are fire door inspections a legal requirement?
In Ireland, the Fire Services Acts of 1981 and 2003 and the Building Regulations of 1997-2019 form the legal backbone of fire safety. Regulations state fire door inspections should be done at six-month intervals. Failure to comply with these regulations could put business owners at risk in the event of an incident.

Across Mayo, Sligo, and Galway counties, business owners may also need to ensure their fire doors comply with CE regulations. CE rulings dictate that all fire doors built for use within the European Union have features such as electrically controlled closing mechanisms, single-point locks, and single-axis hinges. At ProCheck, we conduct thorough inspections to ensure your fire doors comply with all applicable governmental regulations.
The primary purpose of every inspection we conduct is to ensure that fire doors are serviceable, not damaged, and provide protection from flames, smoke, and gases in the event of a fire. To meet government regulations, we inspect each of the components of the fire door for safety. Our fire door checks conform to the following procedure.
- Evaluate the self-closing device to ensure it closes fully into the frame of the fire door.
-Inspect the condition of the glass in the door panels to verify the glazing is fire-resistant.
- Confirm the fire door’s hinges are free of defects such as missing or loose screws.
- Examine the intumescent strips to ensure they make contact with the door edge or frame.
- Measure the gap between the door and side frame, and ensure it is with in the correct tolerance.
- Check the gap at the bottom of the fire door to ensure it’s unlikely to catch on the flooring.
