What Is a D12 Fire Statement and Why Does It Matter?

A D12 Fire Statement is a legally required document under Building Regulations for specific types of buildings. In simple terms, it’s a detailed report that explains how your building has been designed to reduce fire risks, stop fires from spreading between different areas, and ensure everyone can get out safely if a fire occurs.

This document isn’t optional for qualifying buildings—it’s a fundamental requirement that must be prepared by someone competent in fire safety matters. That’s where FireRA: Fire Risk Assessment Experts makes the difference. Our certified assessors possess the qualifications, experience, and meticulous approach needed to create D12 Fire Statements that satisfy Building Control requirements and protect your investment.
