Scottish Building Regulations: Fire Safety review and Compliance: Call for Evidence

Closes 10 Apr 2026

Fire Safety - Simple omissions and issues for example outdated references that could maybe be resolved with early revisions

Where further research or consultation for minor changes within the guidance is not required due to simple updates or correction of minor changes we will seek to undertake such changes at the earliest opportunity rather than with any fundamental changes from the Section 2 (Fire) review. For example, reference with annexes is made to BS5839 2002 where this can be simply updated to the current version, 2017.

9. Do you think there is a need for any other revisions of the technical handbooks and guidance (Section 2 Fire)?
