Hi all,

I am going round in circles trying to find out if there is a regualation/guidence document etc. that states the maximum height of a kerb for a fire door?

The fire door is in a food factory so by the nature of the floor it has a large kerb to keep the water in which i would say is 20cm so therefore in the event of a fire the operatives need to open the fire door and step over the kerb.

Is the maximum step documented anywhere, does anyone know?

Thanks in advance

Bit of a guess, but perhaps Approved Document B may have some info in it that may answer your question?

Failing that, http://www.safelincs-forum.co.uk/ has a really helpful fire safety forum. Im sure one of the regular forum users on there could help.
