It is a requirement associated with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (commonly referred to as the Fire Safety Order or RRO). The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 is the primary piece of legislation governing fire safety in non-domestic premises in England and Wales.

It should be kept up-to-date, easily accessible, and readily available for inspection by relevant authorities.
