Overview of the Act Qualifying events
Events will be in scope – i.e. events at which the requirements must be fulfilled – if they are a "qualifying event". An event is a qualifying event if:
the premises where the event is to be held consists of a building (including part of a building or a group of buildings), other land or a combination of a building and other land;
the premises at which the event is to be held are not enhanced duty premises and do not form part of enhanced duty premises (such events are excluded as the premises will already be subject to the enhanced duty requirements);
members of the public will have access to the premises for the purpose of attending the event;
it is reasonable to expect that at some point during the event 800 or more individuals may be present on the premises at the same time in connection with their use for the event;
measures will be in place to control access to the event. Specifically, this will involve checking members of the public wishing to access the event have paid to do so, have invitations or passes, or are members or guests of a club, association or other body; and
the event is not excluded by virtue of a provision in Part 2 of Schedule 2 to the Act.
