BS 5588-8:1999 Foreword This part of BS 5588 was prepared by Technical Committee FSH/14. It supersedes BS 5588-8:1988 which is withdrawn. The start and finish of text introduced or altered by amendment is indicated in the text by tags E) . Tags indicating changes to text carry the number of the amendment. For example text altered by Amendment No. 1 is indicated by All matters dealing with fire safety management are now located in BS 5588-12. The other parts which prise BS 5588 are as follows: Part O: Guide to fire safety codes of practice for particular premises/applications; Part I: Code of practie for residential buildings; Part 4: Code of practice for smoke control using pressure differentials; Part 5: Code of practice for firefighting stairs and lift8; Part 6: Code of practice for places of assembly; Part 7: Code of practice for the incorporation of atria in buildings; -Part 9: Code of practice for ventilation and air conditioning ductwork; -Part Io: Code of practice for shopping plexes; Part I1: Code of practice for shops offices industrial storage and other similar buildings; Part I2: Managing fire safety. The axiom that buildings should be accessible to disabled people is firmly established. In 1967 BSI published CP 96 Access for the disabled to buildings. The Chronically Sick and Disabled Persons Act [1] was enacted in 1970 (and amended in 1976) with the requirement in Section 4 that buildings to which the public or some sections of the publie have access should wherever practicable and reasonable be accessible. In 1979 CP 96 was revised as BS 5810. The Disabled Persons Act 1981 [2]included in Section 6 a requirement that provision of access and facilities for disabled people in public buildings should be in accordance with BS 5810 in order that access should be more effectively secured. Following consultations on how Section 6 of the 1981 Act might be implemented the Government decided that the intentions of the legislation would be better satisfied by using building regulations as a control instrument. Regulations came into force in Northern Ireland from December 1984 in Scotland from March 1985 and in England and Wales from August 1985. This has subsequently been reinforced by the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 [3]. A basic tenet of building law is that access provision has to be plemented by egress provision and it is on this acount that this part of BS 5588 has been prepared. It has been assumed in the drafting of this standard that the execution of its provisions will be entrusted to appropriately qualified and experienced people. As a code of practice this British Standard takes the form of guidance and remendations. It should not be quoted as if it were a specification and particular care should be taken to ensure that claims of pliance are not misleading. This publication does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users are responsible for its correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. In particular attention is drawn to 4.3.

BS 5588-8:1999 Introduction Management systems are an essential part of the means of escape for disabled people and BS 5588-12 provides @ guidance for management to aid it in making the best use of the facilities described in this part of BS 5588. It is envisaged that those responsible for the management of existing buildings would adopt the principles underlying this standard and its remendations as part of their routine administrative procedures. In many instances it would be sufficient simply to take account of the advice to management that is contained in E BS 5588-12 @ to ensure that the use of a building is facilitated notwithstanding an individual's disability. 1Scope This part of BS 5588 provides guidance additional to that in the other parts of BS 5588 for designers the building construction team and building managements on incorporating into new buildings or buildings that are being altered measures that enable disabled people to be assisted to safety in the event of a fire. It applies to all buildings except single-family dwelling houses flats and maisonettes and buildings used as a house in multiple occupation. This part ofBS 5588 isnot applicable to buildings purpose built for disabled people ineludingHealth Care Premises which are covered by specific guidance documents issued by Government Departments and NHS Estates. NOTE1These are usually prvided with means of escape that are more prehensive than those remended in this part of BS 5588. People with learning dificulties are not catered for in this standard as they need to be treated no differently from children or the very elderly with regards to their needs. NOTE 2 Application of this standard to existing buildings is covered in Annex AL 2 Normative references The following normative documents contain provisions which through reference in this text constitute provisions of this British Standard.
