Why Compliance Matters
Passive fire protection compliance is a structured, evidence-based process that ensures fire-resisting elements, including fire doors, fire stopping and compartmentation boundaries perform as intended under fire conditions.
Keepshut London’s Compliance Hub provides guidance, frameworks and resources to help duty holders manage risk, document outcomes and demonstrate compliance under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and the Building Safety Act 2022.
Delivering Passive Fire Protection Compliance Programmes
Fire Door Compliance in Practice
Fire door compliance is demonstrated through verified condition, correct specification, competent installation, and ongoing inspection and maintenance as part of the building’s passive fire strategy. Compliance is not achieved by installation alone, it requires traceable records, evidence of works completed, and documentation that can stand up to audit, enforcement, and insurance scrutiny.
Supporting Fire Risk Assessment (FRA) Actions
Keepshut London supports the structured closure of Fire Risk Assessment (FRA) findings relating to fire doors and passive fire protection systems. Where FRAs identify defects, non-compliance, or deficiencies in compartmentation, we implement controlled remedial programmes designed to restore compliance with clear evidence and traceability. Our role is not limited to carrying out works, it is to ensure that corrective actions are documented, certified where applicable, and aligned with the Responsible Person’s ongoing compliance strategy.
Certification & Third-Party Evidence
All fire door and passive fire protection works are delivered in accordance with third-party certification requirements where applicable, and within the scope of tested and approved door assemblies and fire-resisting systems. Independent certification provides assurance that installation and remedial works have been completed competently, within fire test evidence parameters, and in line with recognised industry standards. This structured approach reduces risk exposure and provides defensible evidence for duty holders managing regulatory accountability.
Compliance Documentation Provided
Upon completion of works, we provide clear, structured and auditable documentation designed to support ongoing compliance management. This typically includes certification (where applicable), photographic evidence, door identification references, remedial records, and information suitable for updating fire door registers or digital asset management systems. Documentation is issued in a format that supports future inspections, FRA reviews, regulatory audits and, where required, Building Safety Act record-keeping obligations.
Acceptance by Assessors and Authorities
Documentation and certification provided by Keepshut London is routinely relied upon by managing agents, fire risk assessors, principal contractors and building control bodies as evidence of fire door and passive fire protection compliance. Our records are structured to support the Responsible Person in demonstrating that appropriate steps have been taken to identify, remediate and manage compartmentation risks in accordance with current fire safety legislation and regulatory expectations.
