Guides and associated publications
These guides have been specifically written and designed as easy-to-use reference
handbooks to understanding, and complying with, the provisions outlined in the new Approved
Documents.
Written and presented in an uncluttered, user-friendly style, the layout of the guides
allows for essential facts to be assimilated quickly through a series of rules of thumb,
illustrations, flowcharts, and watchpoints. Plus, each guide has an extensive list of
appendices for further information/guidance.
Designed to allow the busy construction professional to grasp complex
provisions efficiently and effectively, these fully referenced guides will be a
welcome companion for architects, construction professionals and building
control officers alike.

Guide to Part B
Guide to Part B will help architects and other construction professionals to
achieve compliance with the new Approved Document B. Now published in two
volumes, to cover domestic buildings (Volume 1) and non-domestic ones (Volume
2). They contain important alterations to the safeguarding of escape routes and
significantly reduce the need to provide self closing doors within dwellings.
Guidance is introduced on the provision of refuges and generally offers a
broader range of solutions with greater emphasis on the role of sprinkler
protection systems. Volume 2 clarifies the legal responsibility for the design
team to identify and provide detailed information to the management, of
non-domestic buildings, on the maintenance and operation of fire safety
equipment and systems, taking into account the implications of the important
Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 that came into force in October 2006.
