Why Newcastle upon Tyne flats need a Regulation 10 certificate

Newcastle's quayside and city-centre residential growth has created a substantial stock of multi-storey blocks where flat entrance door evidence is required under Regulation 10.

Regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 places a legal duty on the Responsible Person of any building containing two or more domestic premises to inspect flat entrance doors at least annually. Every Newcastle upon Tyne flat that opens onto a communal escape route is in scope.
