It supersedes BS 5502-23:1990 which is withdrawn. This code of practice is primarily concerned with th
10、e safety of persons and livestock, but also includes recommendations for the protection of property. It is intended for use for buildings not covered by UK Building Regulations 1, 2, 3. Compliance with this British Standard may demand technical/constructional provisions of a higher standard than are
11、 generally considered satisfactory. This revision incorporates changes introduced as a result of the new series of European Standards covering methods of test for determining fire performance and fire detection, and fighting equipment specifications (see Clause 2). These European Standards have been
12、 mandated to support the Construction Products Directive (CPD) 4, an EU Directive which seeks to remove technical barriers to trade within the European Economic Area (EEA) and which is supported by the use of CE marking. CE marking confirms that products meet the technical requirements of European S
13、tandards. In the UK, the CPD was implemented by the Construction Products Regulations 5, which came into force on 27 January 1991 and were amended on 1 January 1995 by the Construction Products (amendment) Regulations 1994. Products conforming to the new European Standards will have their fire perfo
14、rmance classified in accordance with the new European methods of test. For most products covered by the new European Standards a transition or overlap period will exist between the publication of the new European Standard (BS EN) and the withdrawal of the existing national standard (BS). This transi
15、tion period exists in order to allow equivalence of performance to be determined, national regulations to be changed, where necessary, and manufacturers to bring their products into line with the new standards. During the transition period existing national fire performance requirements for material
16、s and products will run in parallel with the new provisions. Where possible, these new provisions have been introduced into the revision of this code of practice. Annex A gives further background information about this process. BS 5502 is issued in the following broad parts: Part 0: Introduction and
17、 consolidated index; Parts 10 to 19: Reference information and legislation; Parts 20 to 39: General design; Parts 40 to 59: Livestock buildings; Parts 60 to 79: Crop buildings; Parts 80 to 99: Ancillary buildings. More specifically, the general design series comprises: Part 20: Code of practice for
18、general design considerations; Part 21: Code of practice for selection and use of construction materials; Part 22: Code of practice for design, construction and loading; Part 23: Code of practice for fire precautions; Part 24: Code of practice for energy management; Part 25: Code of practice for des

20、urs.BS 5502-23:2004 BSI 2 November 2004 iii It has been assumed in the drafting of this part of BS 5502 that the execution of its provisions is entrusted to appropriately qualified and experienced people. As a code of practice, this British Standard takes the form of guidance and recommendations. It
21、 should not be quoted as if it were a specification and particular care should be taken to ensure that claims of compliance are not misleading. This publication does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users are responsible for its correct application. Compliance with
22、a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. Attention is drawn to the following statutory regulations: Building Regulations England and Wales 1, Scotland 2, Northern Ireland 3, Construction Products Regulations 5, Fire Precautions Act 6. NOTE The Fire Safety Order 7
23、, to be implemented in 2004, could influence the recommendations given in this code.

25、ck farming. This part of BS 5502 is not applicable to those buildings used for the storage of explosives or commercial quantities of chemicals. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

In order to protect persons and livestock in or about agricultural buildings, to limit the extent of fire spread both within a building and to adjacent buildings, and to preserve buildings and their contents, the factors that should be considered in relation to fire hazard are: a)
