Fire Doors

[MatonTE1]

risk assessment sums it up nicely

having read nearly every piece of guidance issued for both the fire scotland act & the rro etc you find that very little is defined

if you can document solid reasons not to do something and prove the reasoning very little is mandatory more "best practice", a bit like your BS document

All you can do to answer a "requirment" question is direct the individual to the closest relevant guidance & the rest is up to them or the RP

Agreed but as long as the variation is clearly documented with valid reason and is not seen as a way to skirt round recommendations that are there for good reason.You also have to bear in mind where mandatory regulations state that a particular application MUST be fully compliant to the recommendations of any relative standard then it must be followed.

Personally,at the end of the day I'd rather put in a fully compliant system than try to find reason not to.

But back to topic......
