Fire protection ‐ adapting to changes in EU standards in the UK

The European Union is currently undergoing a programme of new legislation relating to health and safety. Changes in fire safety legislation and standards, though much publicised by many of the leading companies in the fire protection industry, are still causing widespread confusion. Among the issues that the changes are raising is the speed with which the new legislation and standards have to be implemented and the costs involved in effecting a radical and immediate changeover to new standard equipment.
