Legislation
Effective prevention and protection are critical to safeguard the welfare of building users and minimise the damage to property and the environment in the event of a fire. The minimum standards deemed necessary to achieve this are set out in the Building Regulations (Part B) and the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2006, and compliance is a legal requirement.
