Who can conduct a fire door inspection

[Furberp617]

Hi team, a bit of advice please.

I have a number of fire doors on my site which are all listed on my fire diary. As one of the doors is the front door of a residents premises we have been requested to provide a Fire Door Inspection certificate. Looking at the The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 its states that the the inspection can be conducted by a competent person. Having completed by GradIOSH including completion of the NVQ Lv3 Fire Safety I feel this satisfies competent?? Looking at the training objectives of the fire door inspectors course, this is all information I am well versed with, therefore should be able to sign the door off with confidence - my interpretation - but your thoughts??

My thoughts. Can you demonstrate that you will be working to the relevant Standards that apply to flat entrance doors?

nothings changed and no adaptions and as such should an comfortable  signing off

I would ask the requester what type of fire door inspection certificate they require, been well versed is completely different to having passed a course.  The inspection scheme may fail a door because it is not up to the current standard but there might be nothing wrong with the entire installation and over all fire measures throughout the building.  I am sure that doors in Buck house would not pass a full inspection, but would you replace them all?
