What Replaced the Old Fire Certificate?
Until 2006, many workplaces needed a fire certificate issued by the fire authority under the Fire Precautions Act 1971. That system was abolished by the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which came into force in October 2006. There is no longer a single official "fire certificate" that a building must hold.
Instead, the "responsible person" (usually the employer, owner, landlord or managing agent) must carry out a fire risk assessment and keep fire safety equipment properly maintained. Today, a fire safety certificate means the inspection and test certificates that prove your equipment works and has been checked by a competent person.
What Does a Fire Safety Certificate Cover?
Depending on your building, your fire safety records will usually include some or all of the following:
| Certificate or record | What it covers | How often |
|---|---|---|
| Fire alarm inspection and servicing (BS 5839) | Detectors, call points, sounders and the control panel | At least every 6 months in non-domestic premises |
| Emergency lighting (BS 5266) | Escape route and exit lighting, including battery duration | Monthly function test and an annual full-duration test |
| Fire extinguisher servicing (BS 5306) | Condition, pressure and suitability of extinguishers | Annual service by a competent person |
| Fire door inspection | Doors, frames, seals, closers and gaps | Regular checks, more often in busy or communal areas |
| Fire risk assessment | Hazards, people at risk, escape routes and fire precautions | Reviewed regularly and after any significant change |
Your inspector will confirm which items apply to your property and record the results in a clear digital report.
How Long Does a Fire Safety Certificate Last?
There is no single expiry date, because each part has its own testing cycle. As a guide, fire alarms in commercial and communal areas need servicing at least every six months, emergency lighting needs an annual full-duration test, and extinguishers need an annual service. Your fire risk assessment should be reviewed regularly and whenever the building, its use or its occupants change.
Keeping these dates in one place makes it much easier to show compliance to insurers, local authorities and the fire service if they ask.
Fire Safety Requirements for Landlords
What you need depends on the type of property you let:
- Single-let homes in England: the Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm (Amendment) Regulations 2022 require a working smoke alarm on every storey used as living accommodation, and a carbon monoxide alarm in any room with a fixed combustion appliance (gas cookers excepted). Alarms must be checked on the first day of each new tenancy.
- HMOs: usually need a suitable fire alarm system, fire doors and emergency lighting where required, plus a fire risk assessment. Licence conditions from your local council often set out exactly what is needed.
- Blocks of flats: the responsible person must assess and maintain fire safety in the common parts. Under the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, residents must be given fire safety and fire door information, and buildings over 11 metres need regular fire door checks.
