“The Fire Safety 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.
If you are a Responsible Person, you must consider these parts when conducting fire risk assessments, if you have not done so already”- Home Office.
Read the Act here.
