Abstract

Covers sections B1 - Means of warning and escape, B2 - Internal fire spread (linings), B3 - Internal fire spread (structure), B4 - External fire spread and B5 - Access and facilities for the fire service. Approved Document B (fire safety) has been published in two volumes. Volume 1 deals with dwellinghouses and Volume 2 deals with all other types of building covered by the Building Regulations. Where very large (over 18m in height) or unusual dwellinghouses are proposed some of the guidance in Volume 2 may be needed to supplement that given by Volume 1.

Document History

In England replaced by NBS Building Regulations 2010: Approved Documents B Fire safety - Volume 2 Buildings other than dwellinghouses (2006 edition incorporating 2007, 2010 and 2013 amendments). For use in Wales: superseded by WG Building Regulations 2010: Approved Documents B Fire safety - Volume 2 - Buildings other than dwellinghouses. (2006 edition incorporating 2010 and 2013 amendments) on 30 April 2014. Building regulation powers were devolved to Wales on 31 December 2011. The documents current on 31 December 2011 will continue to apply to Wales. As guidance is reviewed and changes made separate Welsh Approved Documents will be published. For Wales: See also: Amendments to the Approved Documents (WG, 2013). Came into effect April 2007. Supersedes the 2000 edition. See also: DCLG Approved Document B Volumes 1 and 2 (2006 editions) List of revisions and corrections October 2010. Main changes made by the 2010 amendments. This 2006 edition incorporating the 2010 amendments reflects the changes made as a result of the Building Regulations 2010, Building Approved Inspectors etc. Regulations 2010. The changes mainly reflect regulation number changes as a result of re-ordering. There have been no amendments to the substantive requirements in Schedule 1 (i.e. Parts A to P) of the Building Regulations. Please note the simplification of the definition of 'room for residential purposes' in regulation 2 of the Building Regulations 2010. Please also note that L1(c) has now become regulation 40.
