Scope

This code of practice gives guidance on:

• Selection of fire blankets.

• Positioning of fire blankets.

• Regular inspection of a fire blanket.

• Regular maintenance of a fire blanket.

• Life of a fire blanket.

• Reasons to render a fire blanket unserviceable.

Purpose

The proposed standard aims to formalise existing industry guidance into a recognised British Standard, providing greater authority, consistency, and scrutiny in the installation and maintenance of fire blankets. It seeks to establish a clear framework for practitioners, support certification schemes such as BAFE SP101, and improve safety outcomes by reducing variability in current practices, while addressing the absence of an equivalent EN standard and reducing reliance on informal guidance
