The Building (Amendment) (Wales) Regulations 2024
These Regulations amend the Building Regulations 2010 (“the 2010 Regulations”) as they apply in relation to Wales. The 2010 Regulations include requirements for automatic fire suppression systems to be installed in care homes for adults. Prior to the enactment of these Regulations the requirements for automatic fire suppression systems to be installed in care homes for children in Wales were provided in the Domestic Fire Safety (Wales) Measure 2011 (nawm 3) (“the 2011 Measure”). These Regulations will move the requirement in respect of care homes for children to the 2010 Regulations.
