Fire safety regulations
- Approved Document B Fire Safety Requirements covers safety, means of escape, inhibiting the spread of fire inside and between buildings, the stability of buildings and the provision of access for fire-fighters.
- The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 covers the fire safety requirements, statutory risk assessment and management requirements for building owners, employers, managers, occupiers and designers – plus the fire safety of construction materials, their use and installation.
- Euroclasses – is The European Classification system for the reaction to fire protection of construction products. Whilst accepted by all European Union states but is not mandatory in the UK, however, products achieving A1 classification are defined as non-combustible in UK Building Regulations.
- The Loss Prevention Certification Board Design Guide provides information to plan and build premises which are inherently safer from fire hazards.
