EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations make amendments to the Fire Precautions (Sub-surface Railway Stations) Regulations 1989 ("the principal Regulations") consequential on the making of the Building Standards (Scotland) Regulations 1990 ("the 1990 Building Regulations").

Regulation 13(2) of the principal Regulations Provides that the requirements of regulations 4(8), 4(9) and 5(3) of those Regulations are deemed to be satisfied in station premises in Scotland where those premises comply with the provisions of regulations E15, E16 and E22(1) of the Building Standards (Scotland) Regulations 1981 to 1987 (S.I. 1981/1596, 1982/1878, 1984/1660, 1986/1278 and 1987/1231) ("the 1981 Building Regulations").

The 1990 Building Regulations replace the 1981 Building Regulations and the equivalent to paragraphs (8) and (9) of regulation 4 of the principal Regulations is now regulation 13 of the 1990 Building Regulation as read with E2.43 and E2.44 (taken together) of the Technical Standards which support those Regulations. There no longer is an equivalent to regulation 5(3) of the principal Regulations in the 1990 Building Regulations and Technical Standards.

Copies of the Technical Standards referred to in regulation 2 may be obtained from Her Majesty's Stationery Office and its accredited agencies.
