On 16 May 2022, the Fire Safety Act 2021 came into effect in England and Wales. This act is designed to improve fire safety in buildings, following the Grenfell Tower tragedy in 2017. This act clarifies the scope of the Fire Safety Order to make clear it applies to the structure, external walls (including cladding and balconies), and individual flat entrance doors between domestic premises and the common parts of a multi-occupied residential building.
