Status:
This is the original version (as it was originally made). UK Statutory Instruments are not carried in their revised form on this site.
Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Building Standards (Scotland) Regulations 1990 by introducing a requirement for the provision in dwellings of adequate means of warning of an outbreak of fire (smoke alarms). Amendment of the definition of “Technical Standards” at regulation 2(2) gives effect, through the substitute pages mentioned therein, to this new requirement and to a number of other minor changes being made to the standards to remove inconsistencies and for clarification purposes.
The Regulations come into force on 23rd July 1993 but do not apply to any construction or change of use of a building where application for warrant was made before that date.
Copies of the Technical Standards supporting the 1990 Regulations as amended by these Regulations are available from Her Majesty’s Stationery Office.
