    Hi,

    Can some one tell me where i can get a copy of the fire regulations that were in effect a house built in 2005?

    I see this one but it is amended from 2006 but I need to check if a house built prior in 2005 was compliant with the Fire Regulations at the time.

    Looking for the regulations at the time in Part B regarding windows.

    Thanks!

    to put it simpler did these regulations apply to a house constructed in 2005?

    Current regulations regarding height from 1.5.6
    (b) The bottom of the window opening should be not more than 1100 mm and not less than 800 mm (600 mm in the case of a rooflight) above the floor, immediately inside or beneath the window or rooflight. As an exception to the general guidance in TGD K (Stairways, Ladders, Ramps and Guards) that guarding be provided for any window, the cill of which is less than 800 mm in height above floor level, guarding should not be provided to a rooflight opening provided in compliance with this paragraph.
