Hi I have been told that all doors that lead on to an escape route need to be fire doors? I have looked through all the guidance documents and there is no information there that specifically says this. All the doors that are on our fire routes are fire doors. The doors are office doors with 1 person in that lead on to the corridors. Any help on this would be useful? The information came from our Fire Risk Assessor. Many Thanks

Hi Clegghasland, Have a look at Building Regulations Approved Document B Volume 2. For future reference, I'd suggest that when your Fire Risk Assessor, or anyone else for that matter, writes down blanket statements such as that, you get them to clarify where the information is contained. Nick

Depends what you mean by escape route? If a protected route then probably half hour fire doors with self closing devices required. That's a short answer without knowing the full details.
