EAL Level 3 Award in the Inspection of Fire Doors

Course Overview

This qualification is aimed at those working within the sector who wish to gain the necessary understanding and practical skills in the inspection of fire doors.  It has been designed to meet the legal requirements of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations.

These regulations introduce new duties under the Fire Safety Order for building owners or managers (responsible persons). From 23 January 2023, it is a legal requirement for responsible persons for all multi-occupied residential buildings in England with storeys over 11 metres in height to:

• undertake quarterly checks of all fire doors (including self-closing devices) in the common parts, and
• undertake – on a best endeavour basis – annual checks of all flat entrance doors (including self-closing devices) that lead onto a building’s common parts.

The regulations also require responsible persons to provide to residents of all multi-occupied residential buildings with two or more sets of domestic premises (that have common parts) information on the importance of fire doors to a building’s fire safety.

The qualification is supported by the British Fire Consortium (BFC).
