Building Regulations (Amendment) (No. 2) Regulations 1999 No. 3410

Summary:

These Regulations further amend the Building Regulations 1991 (S.I. 1991/2768) to substitute a new Part B in Schedule 1. The main change is the addition of a requirement for appropriate provision for early warning of fire in Part B1. There are also amendments to paragraphs B2(1)(a), B3(2), B4(1) and B4(2) to make it clear that the resistance to fire must be adequate; and to paragraphs B5(1) and B5(2) to make it clear that the facilities and access for the fire service must be reasonable. Regulation 4 of these Regulations contains transitional provisions. A Regulatory Impact Assessment has been prepared in relation to these Regulations.
