Getting the right glass for your building
Prioritising
Start with doors, side panels and low-level glass in busy areas, then work outwards. The schedule makes it easy to phase.
Fire-rated panes
Glass in fire doors and screens must stay fire-rated. We use the fire-rated glass and glazing system named in the door or screen's certification or test evidence, never plain laminated glass, and some doors need a certificated fire-door installer.
What the rules say in England
Fire-rated glass is different
Glass in fire doors, fire screens and protected escape routes has to be fire-rated glass tested as part of that door or screen system, under Approved Document B and the fire safety duties of the building's responsible person. Laminated and security glass are not fire-rated unless the product says so. Where a pane needs both fire and security performance, it must be a product tested for both.
Glazing in workplaces
Regulation 14 of the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 requires windows and transparent surfaces in walls, partitions, doors and gates to be of safety material or protected against breakage where health or safety makes that necessary, and to be marked so people notice them. The employer or the person in control of the premises decides what is needed through their risk assessment.

Not necessarily. The duty is to make glass safe where needed. That may mean replacement, film or guarding, depending on the pane and the risk.
Can you replace glass in fire doors?
