Mr Blair it seems, is back in the guise of Benz.
Possibly in a political sort of forums, not the one you see in here, it will never ever happen mate; it’s too late for him to change of career, even in disguise :D

What doesn't work in the real world, it wouldn't work even in disguise

Interestingly, in parts of the US Fire Codes do apply to domestic houses - when I last stayed there with friends whose parents had emigrated their house had smoke alarms & extinguishers in set locations as prescribed by code - Fire Marshals & Buildings Control could check this and issue citations if it was missing or defective
It seems Americanization is in the way to affect even BS. But, I don’t mean to saying it’s part of the Globalization by trying to opinionate… to Pro-American in every single bit :D

Even being mercenary and in the light of a BIG business potential - I say no to this.Keep the responsibilty of the safety of your family to the one.
Otherwise,we may as well all move into high dependancy nursing homes and let someone wipe our butts because we don't want to take on even that responsibility.

Also, that's what I found in terms of standard:

[ The Approved Document B (of building regulation 2000) states in paragraph 1.3, that if houses are not protected by an automatic fire detection and alarm system in accordance with relevant recommendation of BS5839: Part: 1, or BS5839: Part: 6 to at least a grade E type LD3 standard, they should be provided with a suitable number of smoke alarm installed in accordance with the guidance of paragraphs 1.4 to 1.22 (page: 15 and 16) of the Approved Document...etc ]

That's what shows less tedious requirement for dwellings, in comparison to other buildings of multiple occupancies...etc

I want it to be mixed up, I hope if one day the same analogy of BS5839 P1, to be applied to dwellings  BS5839 P6, and that's the purpose of this add. :)
