The new British Standard, BS 8674: Built Environment - Framework for Competence of Individual Fire Risk Assessors - Code of Practice was published on 15th August 2025. This standard has been developed to recognise the need to improve the competence, consistency and accountability of those commissioning and delivering fire risk assessments. It is part of the approach to improving building and fire safety systems arising from the tragic Grenfell Tower fire.
