Amendment to paragraph 1.2 regarding atriums and compartmentation
Replaces guidance on atriums breaching compartmentation to reference BS 9999 for special fire safety measures required for buildings with atriums passing through compartment floors.
In paragraph 1.2, delete "the use of BS 5588-7 is relevant only where the atrium breaches compartmentation." and substitute –
"a building with an atrium that passes through compartment floors may need special fire safety measures. Further information is given in the relevant recommendations of BS 9999.".
