The latest update to the Wiring Regulations BS 7671:2018+A2:2022 includes significant updates to Section 422, which deals with ''Precautions where particular risks of fire exist''. New definitions have been introduced, with existing conditions for evacuation in an emergency deleted, so all in all, a lot to get our heads around.
Location of fire protection equipment; Exit paths, and; Service rooms; The fire safety plan must be reviewed annually at minimum and updated whenever changes occur, such as new staff or new floor layout. The plan that is developed for a building is used to maintain and protect the building and its occupants. It''s very important that all
These guidelines reflect best practice developed by the countries of CFPA Europe. Where the guidelines and national requirement conflict, national requirements must apply. This Guideline outlines practical measures that can be taken to reduce the number of fires associated with emergency power generating equipment.
Internal fire doors serve as a vital barrier against the spread of fire, protecting lives and properties in an emergency. Whether you are a homeowner, landlord or property manager, it is essential to understand your fire responsibilities and ensure compliance with internal fire door safety regulations. In this enlightening blog post, we delve into the world of

This article explores the key fire protection requirements for electrical rooms, with a particular focus on CO2 fire suppression systems and fire-rated doors. Electrical rooms are inherently susceptible to fires caused by overheating, short circuits, and faulty wiring. When a fire ignites in an electrical room, it can spread rapidly.
The ampacity of conductors that connect a capacitor to the terminals of a motor or to motor circuit conductors shall not be less than one-third the ampacity of the motor circuit conductors and in no case less than 135 percent of the rated current of the capacitor. Overcurrent Protection.
A disconnecting means shall be provided in each ungrounded conductor for each capacitor bank and shall meet the following requirements: The disconnecting means shall open all ungrounded conductors simultaneously. The disconnecting means shall be permitted to discon‐ nect the capacitor from the line as a regular operating procedure.
Manual means of switching or connecting the discharge circuit shall not be used. Conductors. Ampacity. The ampacity of capacitor circuit conductors shall not be less than 135 percent of the rated current of the capacitor.
Fire curtains are another crucial component in electrical room fire protection. These deployable barriers are designed to contain fires and prevent their spread to adjacent areas. Unlike traditional fire doors, fire curtains can be discreetly stored and deployed only when needed, saving valuable space.
Enclosing and Guarding. Containing More Than 11 L (3 gal) of Flammable Liquid. Capacitors containing more than 11 L (3 gal) of flammable liquid shall be enclosed in vaults or outdoor fenced enclosures complying with Article 110, Part III. This limit shall apply to any single unit in an installation of capacitors.
