Secure information box
A secure information box, also known as a premises information box, is a lockable box mounted on the outside of a building that contains building plans and contact information intended for use by
emergency services.[1][2] Secure information boxes have been a mandatory requirement for high-rise residential buildings in England since January 2023 under Regulation 4 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022.[1]
The requirement for secure information boxes on high-rise residential buildings was introduced following the
Grenfell Tower disaster.[3]
