Guest Ron Posted November 18, 2020 Report Share Posted November 18, 2020 Hello all, i hope you are well? I'm having some real difficulty in finding guidance or regs on what smoke ventilation requirements are needed for pre-2006 purpose built blocks of flats. was it required or only advised? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnthonyB Posted November 18, 2020 Report Share Posted November 18, 2020 Required in some form since the early 60's. The official guidance (LGA Guide) has a timeline of requirements, mostly in CP3 until 1991 when Approved Document B was introduced. In some cases it was a simple as having openable windows on landings or a permanent vent at the top as oppose to powered auto vents but in anything other than the smallest blocks is been a requirement for decades. Worryingly too many fire risk assessors are ignorant of this and miss it out of their FRAs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
