Can anyone tell me if BB100 - Designing and managing against the risk of fire in schools, was ever formerly adopted, thereby superceding BB7. Thanks in advance.

A DEPARTMENT FOR COMMUNITIES AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT circular in December said:
Approved Documents B Volume 1: Dwellinghouses and Volume 2: Buildings other than dwellinghouses will also come into force on 6 April 2007. The same transitional arrangements as set out in E.2 and E.3 above will apply.
However, Approved Document B Volume 2 refers to Building Bulletin 100 (BB 100) with respect to guidance in schools. DfES are currently in the process of revising the draft of BB 100 and intend to publish the final version in early 2007. If BB 100 is not published by 6 April 2007, the relevant provisions of the 2000 edition of Approved Document B (incorporating the 2002 European amendments) will continue to have effect with respect to schools until such time as BB 100 is available. These include B1.xxiii, 4.5, 5.5, Table 3 and Table 5.

The useful publication BB7 was superseded by new 'Constructional Standards for School Buildings' in November 1997 - although it remained available from the DfEE. These were progressively incorporated in the text of Approved Documents to the Building Regs as they were revised. In my estimation the draft BB100 didn't seem as helpful as the former BB7.
