• Needs complete revision to meet current best practice and incorporate relevant parts of BS 5516-2 about sloping glazing.

• Needs to introduce national application of load resistance calculation methodology of BS EN 16612

• Guidance on fire safety, particularly reaction to fire, needs to be aligned with latest requirements
