The BS 9999 guidance for fire safety design was published over two years ago, yet many architects and designers are still not aware of what information it holds and what benefits its use can bring to design and to the economic and environmental objectives of a building.

Understanding how BS 9999 works will enable you to identify the key fire safety design requirements for your building, but will also allow you to quickly understand where additional benefits can be obtained to achieve greater design flexibility and save costs.
