Some European systems for regulation and control of private design and construction with particular reference to fire safety

Abstract

Discusses the relatively close links between essential requirements and technical requirements in the Building Regulations of England and Wales and several continental European states, concentrating on a specific examination of regulations for fire safety and how it is handled in the systems of Federal Germany and France. Highlights the very different governmental systems in these two countries and how this affects Building Regulations.
