Hi TW
The following link may (or may not) cast some light on the subject.

http://www.kingfell.com/uploads/PAS911WhitePaper.pdf

I'm afraid that to straightforward folk like you and I this PAS may contain liberal quantities of what we used to call bollox. But its the future.
Thanks Kurnal but it just raises more questions than answers and why is it necessary for a graduate and member of IFE to produce the strategy. I agree it is a load of small spherical objects and I shall place it on the back burner for now. However you mentioned Regulation 16B could you elaborate?
All my responses only apply to England and Wales and they are an overview of the subject, hopefully it will point you in the right direction and always treat with caution.

I'm surprised the author did not advocate that the strategy should also be undertaken by companys whose names began with K and ended in L.
Qualified, experienced and IFE. Why? A qualified person is not neccessarily experienced and an experienced person is not neccessarily qualified. What a pompus and arrogant person.

Hi TW

Rather than reinvent the wheel the new regulation is very well explained on page 147- (APPENDIX G)  of the approved document which you can download here

Thanks Kurnal I eventually found Regulation 16B and Appendix G and it cleared it all up. It does make sense but even in complex buildings I do not understand why anybody would ask for it to be in accordance with PAS 911, the AD guidance lays out all that is required.

PAS 911 is utter rubbish and should be smothered at birth.

Its definately not what reg 16b is about

No Davo I just got so excited thinking about the opportunities, you know replacing the current Rolls with a lear jet that my hands started to shake.
