July 18, 20196 yr comment_14672 Hi all, Quick question for you all. I carried out an FRA in a 1965 multi-storey car park and fire doors were of poor condition and risk rooms i.e. electric cupboards etc had compartmentation breaches. I stated the requirements as per ADB 2019 for compartmentation standards and the client is asking why I am benchmarking a modern document if the buidling was built in 1065. Can anyone tell me the legal requirement, if any, to bring an older building up to a modern fire safety standard? Thanks in advance Report

To determine if it's a legal requirement to modernise go through this tree: Report
