Technical Booklet E Fire Safety·Page 31·1.6
Property Protection
Building Regulations ensure adequate life safety in fire. Property protection may require additional measures by insurers, but such measures must not reduce the level of protection required by this Technical Booklet.
Building Regulations are intended to ensure that an adequate standard of life safety is provided in case of fire. The protection of property, including the building itself, may require additional measures and insurers will in general seek their own measures if they are to accept the insurance risk. Such measures (e.g. locking doors on escape routes) must not negate or reduce the level of protection or performance of any provision in this Technical Booklet.
