Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 - Fault and Information Reporting
From 23rd January 2023, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 (the Regulations) make it a requirement for Responsible Persons of high-rise residential buildings to provide information to fire and rescue services to assist in planning for and responding to a fire in their building. A high-rise residential building is defined as a building containing two or more sets of domestic premises that is at least 18 metres tall or has at least seven storeys.
