The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 extend the duties imposed on responsible persons by the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (Fire Safety Order).

These regulations make it compulsory for responsible persons of high-rise flats to give fire and rescue services relevant information to help them plan for and respond to emergencies. The regulations also require responsible persons of high-rise or multi-occupied residential buildings over 11 meters tall to implement additional safety measures. For all multi-occupied residential buildings, responsible persons are required to provide fire safety instructions and emphasise the importance of fire doors to residents. These regulations apply to existing buildings, and new building requirements may differ.

The Regulations require Responsible Persons of multi-occupied residential buildings to take specific actions, depending on the height of the building:

some provisions apply regardless of height
more are needed once a building reaches 11 metres, and
further requirements are introduced when a building reaches 18 metres (or 7 storeys) or more.

The Regulations set out requirements for Responsible Persons of all multi-occupied residential buildings, with two or more sets of domestic premises: 

Fire Safety Information to Residents: The Responsible Person must provide fire safety information to their residents on how to report a fire and what a resident must do once a fire has occurred.
Fire Door Information: The Responsible Person must provide residents with information relating to the importance of fire doors in fire safety.  The Regulations set out additional requirements for Responsible Person of multi-occupied residential buildings of over 11 metres in height:
Fire door checks: the Responsible Person should carry out annual checks of flat entrance doors. They must also undertake quarterly checks of all fire doors in the common parts.
