All internal fire doors need to adhere to the following regulations: ⁃ They must be heavier than normal internal doors. ⁃ Door closers must be fitted so that they close automatically. ⁃ Seals must be fitted around the edges of the doors so that they can expand to block gaps (and prevent smoke from spreading). ⁃ Fire-resistant glazing must be fitted into windows on the doors. ⁃ Handles and other fittings on the doors must be fire-resistant to ensure they can be opened safely in an emergency. An internal fire door FD30 should resist fire for 30 minutes. A FD60 fire door should resist fire for 60 minutes. The amount of time it takes for a fire door to actually resist a fire depends on the circumstances, including where the fire is in relation to the door, the burn rate, and what is being burned at the time.
