Department for Communities and Local Government, (2019) Intention. In: Approved Document B: Fire Safety - Volume 1: Dwellings. 2019 ed. Requirement B2: Internal fire spread (linings), 1 . RIBA Publishing Publication, London, p. 42. ISBN 9781859469156
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
In the Secretary of State’s view, requirement B2 is met by achieving a restricted spread of flame
over internal linings. The building fabric should make a limited contribution to fire growth,
including a low rate of heat release.
It is particularly important in circulation spaces, where linings may offer the main means by which
fire spreads and where rapid spread is most likely to prevent occupants from escaping.
Requirement B2 does not include guidance on the following.
a. Generation of smoke and fumes.
b. The upper surfaces of floors and stairs.
c. Furniture and fittings.
