General guidance only. The site fire risk assessment, the manufacturer's instructions, and any sector standards (e.g. HTM 03-01 for healthcare ventilation) take precedence. A competent person must approve the final inspection regime.
UK statutory context
Drop testing of fire dampers in the UK is statutory under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and BS 9999:2017. This tool provides general scheduling guidance — the final inspection regime must be set by a competent person against the building's fire risk assessment, the manufacturer's instructions, and any sector standards (e.g. HTM 03-01 for healthcare).
