41、2015vi The British Standards Institution 2016ForewordPublishing informationThis British Standard is published by BSI Standards Limited, under licence fromThe British Standards Institution, and came into effect on 31 October 2015.It was prepared by Technical Committee FSH/14, Fire precautions in buil
