New Fire Safety Certificate Applications
The Building Control Act 1990 (as amended) requires that all developments covered by the Building Regulations (except houses and certain agricultural buildings) obtain a Fire Safety Certificate.
Under the Building Control Act two main sets of regulations have been issued; the Building Regulations which sets standards for building works, and the Building Control Regulations which puts procedures in place to control building works.
A Fire Safety Certificate is granted after the plans and specifications for a new building are assessed by a Fire Officer for compliance with Part B (Fire Safety) of the Building Regulations. A Fire Safety Certificate is a certification of your proposed fire safety design, not the fire safety design of your finished building. When you receive a Fire Safety Certificate in relation to a proposed design it means that the building, if built in accordance with the proposed design, complies with the fire requirements of the building regulations.
