Bibliography

Gives guidance on fire safety engineering techniques to support property, business and mission protection objectives, in order to address property loss, assist business/mission continuity and/or provide resilience against the effects of fire.

This part of PD 7974 provides guidance on fire safety engineering techniques to support property, business and mission protection objectives, in order to address property loss, assist business/mission continuity and/or provide resilience against the effects of fire. It describes a business impact analysis (BIA) process which can be used by the building’s or plant’s design team in order to inform the qualitative design review (QDR) process, as described in BS 7974 and PD 7974-0. It provides input into the fire engineering objective setting part of the QDR.

NOTE The phrases “mission continuity?? and “business continuity?? are both used within this part of PD 7974, to indicate that this part of PD 7974 covers all organizations, not just businesses.

It is intended that this part of PD 7974 is applied to the design of new buildings and plant, where appropriate. It can also be applied to the appraisal of existing buildings and plant.

This part of PD 7974 covers all aspects of a building and its contents. It does not cover plant and buildings used for the bulk storage or processing of flammable liquids or explosive materials.
