Replace Perko chain in Flat/Communal area Fire door

Have a FD30 Fire Door, from 1990. Door has been upgraded with Overhead Closer and new Fire rated hinges.

Originally he door had a perko chain.

Can I leave that in place? Or is it required that it is removed?

If it needs to be removed what would I use to fill the hole left in the door?

Would a Fire Stop  putty be OK, and painted ?

    If the perko is still working then it could interfere with the working of the overhead closer so I would remove it and fill with hardwood/ fire stop  putty.
