Ovi Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 Hi there, Is there anywhere specified in the legislation that if a particular area in a building is used for healthcare (e.g. 60% of that building) and 20% is used for private flats and the other 20% of the building is used for shops, the whole building will be considered as a Healthcare building and therefore, the Health Technical Memorandum 05-02: Firecode will apply for the entire premise? For example: "in a multi-functional building (e.g.: 7 storey building: 5 floors healthcare, 1 floor flats, 1 floor shops - what guidance will be applied for this multi-functional building? Thank you!

Tom Sutton Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 The whole building is subject to The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and the RP or RP's have to implement articles 8 to 22. simples The guidance will vary, the Firecode will apply to the healthcare premises, the shops will use the DCLG guide and the common areas the Fire safety in purpose-built blocks of flats . The building will be considered a multi occupied building with three premises. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
