Posted By Derek Housley On the ODPM website its been confirmed that the above legislation will come into force in England & Wales this October. Fire risk assessments (in a slightly different format) will continue to be carried out, and at that time Fire Certificates will no longer have any legal force.

Posted By Nick House Jonathan - Thanks for that, you've just brightened my day..... However, if this is now due in October, doesn't that give them until mid July to publish the guidance?
