Well, I'm certainly interested in getting the money back for something not of 'merchantable quality'......

My latest information is that BS 9999 is to be published in October 2008, all 731 pages of it.  It will replace most parts of the current 5588 series, not part 1, although they will be run alongside BS 9999 for 6 months.  The commentary/recommendation part of BS which I find very good has gone and there are references in anumber fo sections to similar parts in other sections.  But, there will be an index.

The section on the disabled has been beefed up but again appears in different sections.

Just reading my pre publishing final copy of this document.  5839 Fire alarms systems are graded as types. removed in the 2002 edition and there are no mentions of Cats L4 and L5.  Emergency esacpe lighting is in 5266 part1 and part 7.  Silly me I thought it was part 8.
