Safety check of fire doors

[Guest sarah Hunt]

I would like to know what the regulations are about the safety check of fire doors, how often they need checking when the fire door opens from a shop into a rented private residential area. It is obviously necessary for checks to be done but frequency and times of day are in question. Could you give me some idea of procedures. thank you

There is no regulation but the appropriate guidance for Offices and shops  has a section on 3.4.6 Installation, testing and maintenance which provides a frequency of testing of fire safety items including fire doors, the time of the day to complete the test would be up to mutual arrangement.
