Look at the date of the document BB - predates most peoples' computers so electronic documents were probably not even a twinkle in Bill Gates' eye!

Check out http://www.mace.manchester.ac.uk/project/research/structures/strucfire/DataBase/References/defaultOther.htm The post war building studies pre dates CP 3 Chapter iv Part 1: 1971 chapter.  :P

Hope I haven't upset anybody on the other thread "Thought it might be worth a mention"  :-*

I think this was raised before and I indicated that I had an electronic copy in PDF format.  I also have the prior edition in PDF format.  However the 1971 copy is far more in depth.

I will email you CP3, as a welcome to the forum present. Dont forget the mandatory rules for means of escape document as well.
Have you seen the recent  LGA guidance document on fire safety in purpose built flats?

Which version are you looking for? CP3 was of course a British Standard rather than Regulations. Please feel free to pm me for more information.

Good luck - I've only ever been able to get hold of Part 1 for flats!

You can still buy Parts 2 & 3 for offices, shops, etc, but BSI insist on full price despite them being long withdrawn which is plain silly.

If anyone does ever find copies I'd love to get hold of them!
