Fire Door Inspection

Fire Door Inspection

PPM stands for "Planned Preventive Maintenance" It refers to a proactive approach to maintenance where routine inspections, servicing, and repairs are scheduled at predetermined intervals to prevent equipment failures, minimise downtime, and extend the lifespan of building systems and equipment. A PPM strategy involves creating a maintenance plan that outlines the specific tasks, frequencies. The intervals for PPM activities can vary depending on factors such as the type of equipment, manufacturer recommendations, usage patterns, environmental conditions, and regulatory requirements. In short, every block should have one.
FRA Type 1 – the most common and is a non-destructive assessment of the common parts only, including risers, communal doors, and a sample of flat doors. The purpose is to ensure that common parts of a building have arrangements in place for people to escape if there was a fire – such as clear signage pointing to entry and exit points.
FRA Type 2 – Where a Type 1 raises serious concerns that could increase the risk of fire spreading, a Type 2 FRA is usually called for, often by the Fire Service. Typical triggers would be compartmentation issues highlighted in FRA 1, or façade issues. Type 2 FRAs include destructive sampling – which means involving a contractor to open up and make good temporarily.
FRA Type 3 – This is a non-destructive comprehensive assessment (more than the law requires), covering all common areas of a building – and individual dwellings. A Type 3 FRA considers all means of escapes (including those within individual dwellings), structures, and compartmentation between flats and any means of fire detection. A Type 3 FRA is non-destructive – and is usually only considered necessary if there are fire risks within individual dwellings. Typically PRP have inspected corridors and within service cupboards off the corridors, the survey also extends to both sides of the flat entrance doors.
FRA Type 4 – As a Type 2 FRA this Type 4 surveys include destructive sampling, but in both the common parts of a building and living areas – such as flats to take samples. Type 4 FRAs are only required when there is reason to believe there are serious defects in both common parts of a building or individual dwellings, or the interaction between the two.
