Building Regulations - Part

The maximum, that is, worst case value of prospective short-circuit current is 16 kA at the supply terminals (see Electricians Guide to the Building Regulations Part P, Chapter 3). 

Car parks should be ventilated passively (or naturally) wherever possible (Institution of Structural Engineers, 2002). The Institution of Structural Engineers (2002) and the Building Regulations Part F require the following ventilation ... 

The Building Regulations Part B - Section 2 outlines the minimum periods of fire resistance for the structural elements of buildings. The period of fire resistance is given in time. The minimum period that an element of structure can have is 30 minutes this can be raised to 4 hours in certain circumstances.

Part III modifies the Public Health Acts 1936—61 and the Building (Scotland) Act 1959 with respect of powers to make building regulations and deals with provisions as to the approval of plans, unsuitable materials, type relaxations, approved types of building, carrying out of tests, etc. 

BS 476 1968 Part 7 - surface spread offlame. Specified in Building Regulations in UK, Netherlands, Denmark and France. A 900 mm long specimen is mounted in front of a radiant panel in such a way as to be subjected to a specific hat intensity gradient. Six specimens of each material are tested and, if five show no more than 165 mm spread of flame and the sixth no more than 190 mm, the material is classified as Class 1. There is also a small-scale test, with specimens 300 mm long. Similar large-scale tests are described in NEN 3883 and DS 1058 3. NF P 92-506 can be compared with the small-scale test. 

Australia AS 1530 Part 3 - ignitability index. Specified in Australian Building Regulations. A 600x450 mm specimen is mounted vertically and moved at a predetermined rate towards a radiant gas burner mounted opposite and parallel to it. The Ignitability Index is calculated from the time taken for the specimen to ignite. The same apparatus is used to measure Spread of Flame and Heat Release. 

The details of the construction structure of building to be demolished would include whether it was built of brick, pre-stressed concrete, reinforced concrete or steel. There may be certain building regulations which cover the site and the Local Authority Building Department should be contacted to ascertain whether any part of the site is affected by these regulations. It is also important to consult with legal advisers to ensure that there are no legal covenants or disputes which could affect operations on the site. 

Part 3 makes amendments to the safety aspects of building regulations. 

There are also opportunities to link the health and safety file with other documents such as the Buildings Regulations Log Book. The HSC want to ensure that such links can be made to make the file as useful and easy to maintain as possible. The potential practical value of the information contained in the file is also likely to increase as more clients make use of the Internet to share this information with designers and contractors. (For example, maintenance contractors could check what access equipment and parts they are likely to need to repair a fault before leaving for the site, saving them and their clients inconvenience, time and money.)... 

A preaccelerated, thixotropic, DBNPG based intumescent coating, offering excellent fire protection to GRP. Can satisfy the requirements of BS476 Part 7, Class 1 and the Building Regulations (Section B) for a Class 0 structure. 

An unaccelerated, non-thixotropic, UV stabilised di-bromo neopentyl glycol (DBNG) polyester for the machine manufacture of sheeting exhibiting good clarity. Will achieve Class 1, BS 476 Part 7 and Class 0, Building Regulations (SectionB). 

Passive measures relate to the ability of a building to withstand the effects of fire and also to prevent the spread of fire. These measures are usually part of the structure of the building and can result from a requirement of the Building Regulations or as a result of a fire risk assessment.

The Building Regulations are divided into various parts . Part B of the regulations deals with the main fire safety requirements for all buildings. 

The specific requirements for access and use of buildings by disabled people is detailed in Part M of Schedule 1 to the Building Regulations 2000. 

It is also likely that the fire risk assessor/assess-ment team may also need to have access to a variety of documents produced as part of the requirements of the Building Regulations (Approved Documents B and M), and a variety of British Standards such as BS 5839 Fire Alarm and Detection Systems and BS 5266 Emergency Lighting.
