New Fire Regulations came into force in October 2023 in the latest phase of reforms by the UK government to improve fire safety and building safety following the terrible Grenfell fire in 2017.
The new safety guidance was part of the new fire safety legal provisions within section 156 of the Building Safety Act 2022 and forms phase 3 of the Home Office’s fire safety reform programme which made amendments to the Fire Safety Order 2005 (FSO).
