British Standard on 31 March 2019. The use of standards generally is voluntary. As

by the European Commission, it cannot give presumption of conformity with requirements
of the legislation.</p><p> </p><p>The Government continues to work with BSI and other
stakeholders such as the London Fire Brigade at international level to further enhance
