The Building Regulations 2000 Fire Safety Approved Document B Volume Two - buildings other than dwellinghouses
- [S.l.] NBS 2006
B1: means of warning and escape -- B2: internal fire spread (linings) -- B3: internal fire spread (structure) -- B4: external fire spread -- B5: access and facilities for the fire service -- Appendix A: performance of materials and structures -- Appendix B: fire doors -- Appendix C: methods of measurement -- Appendix D: purpose groups -- Appendix E: definitions -- Appendix F: fire behaviour of insulating core panels used for internal structures - Appendix G: fire safety information -- Appendix H: standards and other publications referred to.
Approved Document B has been split into two volumes, with volume two dealing with buildings other than dwelling houses. The changes, which come into force on 6 April 2007, will affect future building work in England and Wales, such as the erection, extension or material alteration of a building, and how fire safety is designed into a building. A major change is the introduction of a new Regulation (16B) to ensure adequate fire safety information is recorded to assist the eventual owner, occupier, or employer to meet their statutory duties under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Other changes include new guidance on residential care homes (including on the use of sprinklers) and the provision of sprinklers in tall blocks of flats.
