Explanatory Note
These Regulations amend the Fire Precautions (Sub-surface Railway Stations) Regulations 1989 so as to add the requirement imposed by regulation 8(3) (flame resistant materials to be used for escalator surfaces) to those from which a fire authority may grant exemption under regulation 12(1); escalators in a station may not, however, at the same time be exempt from the regulation 8(3) requirement and from requirements as to water sprinklers or as to means for detecting fire.
Regulation 8(3) of the 1989 Regulations comes into force on 1st January 1996 (see regulation 1(3)). These amending Regulations accordingly come into force on that date.
