(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2000 (the principal Regulations). They come into operation on 3rd October 2005. They do not apply to building work which has been completed, or for which plans or building notices have been deposited with a district council before that date.
Part E of the principal Regulations is amended to expand the definition of internal linings to include products (Regulation 4(3)) and to extend the requirements relating to internal linings to include low rate of fire growth (Regulation 4(4)). These changes give recognition to testing to European standards. A new Table is substituted for Table E of Schedule 5 to the principal Regulations so that updated deemed-to-satisfy references are inserted (Regulation 4(5)).
A Regulatory Impact Assessment has been prepared. Copies can be obtained from the Building Regulations Unit, Department of Finance and Personnel, River House, 48 High Street, Belfast BT1 2AW.
These Regulations were notified in draft to the European Commission in accordance with Directive 98/34/EC, as amended by Directive 98/48/EC.
S.I. 1979/1709 (N.I. 16); Article 5(1) was amended by S.I. 1990/1510 (N.I. 14), Article 38(1) and Sch. 1, Part II
