Today BSI announced the publication of PAS 9980:2022, “Fire risk appraisal of external wall construction and cladding of existing blocks of flats – Code of practice”. Jointly sponsored by DLUHC (previously MHCLG) and the Home Office, it provides a methodology for fire risk appraisals of external walls and give recommendations for the competence of professionals completing such appraisals. As well as plugging a knowledge gap this hugely important document will help provide the consistency for external wall assessments that the industry and stakeholders have been demanding.
Tenos, through the efforts of Mostyn Bullock, are proud to have been part of the team of experts responsible for drafting the code. |
