Use of Old and Withdrawn Standards

Back to the blog page

It has come to my attention that in order to overcome the many errors and failings in the current I.S.3218:2024 standard, some parties are reverting to the previous Standard I.S.3218:2013 + A1:2019 for designs.

It is important to note that in spite of the many problems with the I.S.3218:2024 standard, it must be applied to all current designs.

The previous standard, I.S.3218:2013 + A1:2019 has been withdrawn and can no longer be referenced or used on new or upgrade projects unless it was specified in the Fire Safety Certificate.

 

Even if this is the case, Commissioning, Service/Maintenance and User Actions must comply with the latest Standard issue.

This is a personal interpretation and not presented as anything else.

"Thank you very much today, I thought it was excellent. I thought the conversation and questions were really interesting and showed the interest and engagement in what could potentially be a dry subject. Thank you for your interest and personalisation of the subject matter to Coffey. I’ll probably look to send new joiners or stragglers on the same course again this year once a few can be grouped together."
