Design and materials of external walls

Regulation 5 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 requires responsible persons of high-rise residential buildings to prepare a record of the design of the external walls and share it with Avon Fire and Rescue Service if the building is within the Service area, including South Gloucestershire, Bristol, Bath and North East Somerset and North Somerset.  

The responsible person is required to provide details of the materials used in wall construction as well as information on the level of risk of fire spread that the external wall structure poses, and any steps that have been taken to mitigate these risks.
