FRA Question

[Guest matjwheeler@icloud.com]

Can someone please confirm which fire system we need? The FRA said D LD2, but the building is four storeys high, including the basement, which houses three flats off the communal hallway.

If you're going by BS 5839-6:2019 for domestic properties then is depends on how the property is used and whether its a new build or existing.

If it's more than two stories then all relevant guidance requires a Grade A or Part 1 communal system with flat self contained systems being Grade D LD3 minimum, ideally LD2.
This is assuming it's a converted premises requiring a simultaneous evacuation policy.
If it's stay put you don't need the common system
