The Orange Book - BlazeMaster CPVC Revisited
One year ago, BlazeMaster Fire Protection Systems launched the definitive guide to CPVC fire sprinkler specification. A year on, we are extremely proud of the way the UK fire protection industry has adopted this groundbreaking resource. It has come at exactly the right time.
In the past two years, we have seen monumental changes to the way fire sprinkler systems are perceived in the public consciousness and on an industry level:
- Phase 2 of the Grenfell Inquiry continues
- New legislation has made fire sprinklers mandatory in more homes than ever before
- BS 9251, a driving force for modern fire sprinkler installation standards has seen a major update to codes of practice
- Campaigners have been tirelessly raising awareness of the need for fire sprinkler systems in more care homes and schools
In summary, attitudes towards fire safety are moving in the right direction; this is a good sign.
