Rules that apply in Selby
As an English town, Selby follows the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and the permitted development rules in England.
- Your duties: In England and Wales, the responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire safety equipment, including fire shutters, maintained in good working order.
- Approvals: Where a fire shutter forms part of building work, such as a new or altered opening in a compartment wall, building control approval is needed, from the council or a registered building control approver.
- Alarm link: Linking a shutter to the fire alarm is coordinated with your alarm contractor so the shutter closes on the right signal; shutters across escape routes are normally released by local heat detection.
- Certification: We supply the manufacturer's test or certification evidence for the product we quote. We do not claim a rating on our own behalf.

Who is responsible for maintaining fire shutters?
The person responsible for fire safety in the building: the responsible person in England and Wales, the duty holder in Scotland or the appropriate person in Northern Ireland.

A fire shutter must suit the building's fire strategy, and fire shutters forming part of building work need building control approval (a building warrant in Scotland). If you are unsure, ask your local council; we provide product details for any application.
