RAers can use any guidance so posters on this forum have stated before and therefore the enforcers shpuld take cognisance of the methodology that is used in the assessmnet not just the CLG guides. As an example, if a RAer wished to utilise BS 9999 as a methodology you could not compare it to the CLG guide as the differences are vast. But and it is a big but, you still get a safe premises.
But as I have said before, a premises that fits in with BS9999 should not be the subject of enforcement. People seem to be of the opinion that if their premises doesn't fit in with CLG guidance that we will come and enforce it to fit. It is the premises that fit no guidance and are unsafe that will be subject to enforcement, and we won't enforce the standards in BS9999 to bring it up to a standard.
But, if they bring in a consultant at that stage and bring the premises up to the standard of BS9999 then since we are enforcing Articles, the premises should then comply with the necessary Articles, and the Enforcement Notice is satisfied.
