The role of the regulator
Letts, J.
The role of the regulator - 2004 - RICS Building Control (149) April 2004, 12-13(2) .
Outlines ways in which confusion about "BS5839-1: 2002 Fire detection and alarm systems for buildings - Part 1: code of practice for design, installation, commissioning and maintenance" can be eradicated. Observes that many specifications require a new fire detection and alarm system to meet the requirements of BS5839-1, but historically this may not have been delivered or there is no evidence of compliance. Suggests regulators examine fire certificates closely, as outlined in BS5839-1.
