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.

Derek,
Your post states that the RRO will come into force on 31/10/06 however the press statement from the ODPM says that it will come into force on 01/10/06.

Yup, it's all there on:

Permit me to indulge in the following rhetorical question:

"Does that mean the Guidance Notes have now been published?"

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?

At the risk of falling for a Wahhhhh from either yourself or Jonathan - yes it does.

Lay your bets ladies and gentlemen. I go for 1 September.

Thought so. Glad Jonathan and others still manage to inject some humour here - brightens an otherwise dull day....
