Design and Materials of External Walls
Regulation 5 of the Fire Safety Regulations 2022 states responsible persons of high-rise residential buildings must prepare a record of the design of the external walls and share it with the fire and rescue service.
Filling in an External Wall Report
Providing information about the wall design will assist with operational pre-planning and provide information that will help crews if a fire breaks out in the building.
As well as providing details of the materials used in the wall construction, responsible persons will also be required to provide information on the level of risk of fire spread that the external wall structure poses, and any steps that have been taken to reduce these risks.
