Technical HandbooksTechnical Handbooks, published by the Scottish Government’s Building Standards Division (BSD), gives technical guidance on how to meet the requirements of the Building Regulations 2004 (as amended) for building work carried out in Scotland.

There are two Technical Handbooks: Building Standards Technical Handbook 2019: Domestic

Buildings; and Building Standards Technical Handbook 2019:

Non–domestic Buildings.

These Technical Handbooks apply to buildings where a building warrant has been submitted on or after October 1st 2019. They also apply to building work commenced after October 1st 2019 which does not require a warrant.

Introduction

This document provides guidance for compliance with the Technical Handbooks for functional standards 2.4-2.8:2.4 Cavities2.6 Spread to neighbouring buildings2.7 Spread on external walls2.8 Spread from neighbouring buildings

Domestic Buildings with Insulation Exposed in an External Wall CavityTable 1 (below) details the insulation requirements when exposed in an external wall cavity.

NB This guidance does not apply to certain brick and block cavity wall constructions. Please see section below for guidance on this construction.

The guidance requires that the complete wall build–up meets the performance criteria set out in BRE report: BRE 135 (Fire performance of external thermal insulation for walls of multistorey buildings 2013) using large scale test data from:

BS 8414-1: 2015 + A1: 2017 (Fire performance of external cladding systems. Test method for non–loadbearing external cladding systems applied to the masonry face of a building); or

BS 8414-2: 2015 + A1: 2017 (Fire performance of external cladding systems. Test method for non–loadbearing external cladding systems fi xed to and supported by a structural steel frame).

Assessment–based RouteAssessments should not be regarded as a way to avoid testing and this option should only be used where suffi cient relevant test evidence is available. Where an assessment is used in lieu of a test, this should be done by organisations with the necessary expertise (for example organisations listed as ‘notifi ed bodies’ in accordance with the European Construction or laboratories accredited by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service), in accordance with the relevant standard for extended application of the test in question.

For external wall applications, the British Standards Institute (BSi) has drafted a standard for extended application,BS 9414: 2019 (Fire performance of external cladding systems. The application of results from BS 8414-1 and BS 8414-2 tests). The standard provides guidelines on what variations are possible to cladding systems, which have been tested in line with the existing BS 8414 standards.

Extended application enables a prediction to be made on the expected fi re performance of a system under specifi ed fi re conditions if one or more of the components or parameters, which had been evaluated as part of the test specimen, were to be changed. In the specifi c case of external cladding systems, such predictions are based upon the need to abide strictly with the fundamental principle that the fi re performance of the modifi ed system would be equal or better if it were to be subjected to a BS 8414-1 or BS 8414-2 test.

The BS 9414 standard covers insulated and ventilated rainscreen systems, external thermal insulated composite systems and structural insulated panels. Please consult section 2 of both Technical Handbooks for more information.

For performance classifi cations where there is no specifi c standard for extended application, assessment reports should be produced in accordance with the principles of BS EN 15725 : 2010 (Extended application reports on the fi re performance of construction products and building elements).

Details of the test evidence that has been used to support the assessment should be included. This option requires the report to be supported with the results of testing by a suitable UKAS accredited testing body, and to specifi cally reference any tests that have been carried out on any of the materials used.

Walls – Technical Handbooks 2019: Domestic Buildings

External wall cladding includes all non load–bearing external wall cladding systems attached to the structure, for example, composite panels, clay or concrete tiles, slates, pre– cast concrete panels, stone panels, masonry, profiled metal sheeting including sandwich panels, timber panels, weather boarding, thermally insulated external wall rendered systems, glazing systems and other ventilated cladding systems.

Alternative Approach to Compliance – Fire Safety Engineering Route Based upon scientific principles, and in line with the BS 7974 : 2019 (Application of fire safety engineering principles to the design of buildings. Code of practice) suite of documents, from an integrated or a ‘whole building’ perspective, fire safety engineering not only considers the performance of structures, systems, products and materials when exposed to fire, it also includes human behavioural aspects, fire prevention and active and passive fire protection measures e.g. effective means of egress and adequate measures for alarm, detection, control and extinguishment.

Furthermore, it can facilitate innovation in building design without compromising fire safety, particularly in some large and complex buildings, as well as multi–purpose buildings, where it may be the only practical way to achieve a satisfactory level of fire safety.

Technical Handbooks 2019 refer to the alternative approach for buildings that are rarely designed and constructed in Scotland, including buildings with a storey more than 60 m and houses with a storey more than 18 m above ground level.

For the full list of these buildings, please consult clauses 2.0.3 in both Technical Handbooks.

Specified AttachmentsWhere a domestic building has a storey height of above 11 m, the requirements above also apply to specified attachments, including balconies. Therefore, balconies* (an attachment to a wall unheated on both sides), also including attached and inset balconies, would need to meet the same requirements as walls. Roof terraces* and roofs however (with a heated space below) are exempt. For details on achieving compliance for roofs please see the ‘Compliance for roofs’ section of this document.

*NB Interpretation is determined by local Building Control and further guidance should be sought.

Domestic Buildings with Cavity WallsThere are no restrictions on the use of insulation materials for masonry cavity wall constructions with two leaves of brick or concrete at least 75 mm thick and where the external wall has cavity barriers around all openings and at the top of the wall head.

For all other domestic buildings utilising a different cavity wall construction, if the insulation material is exposed in the cavity it must comply with Table 1.

Domestic Buildings & Shared Residential Accommodation with Structural FramingThere are no restrictions on the use of insulation materials where the insulation is used between a structural frame (including structural insulated panels) on a building with a topmost storey height up to 18 m, when using external wall cladding that meets requirements of Table 2 and provided the system achieves the appropriate fire resistance.

* These requirements are not applicable on a ‘house’ where the system achieves Euroclass B and the wall behind the cladding achieves the appropriate fire resistance.

The alternative guidance listed in the Table 3 is detailed within the ‘insulation exposed in an external wall cavity section’.

The alternative guidance listed in the Table 2 is detailed within the ‘insulation exposed in an external wall cavity’ section.

For all other domestic buildings utilising structural framing, i.e. those that have a topmost storey height above 18 m, the insulation material within the structural frame must achieve Euroclass A1 - A2-s3,d2.

Walls – Technical Handbooks 2019:Non-domestic Buildings

Non-domestic Buildings with Insulation Exposed in an External Wall CavityTable 4 (below) details the insulation requirements when exposed in an external wall cavity.

NB This guidance does not apply to certain brick and block cavity wall constructions. Please see section below for guidance on this construction.

The alternative guidance listed in Table 4 is detailed below as the Performance-based Route, Assessment-based route and the Alternative Approach to Compliance and these are explained below.

Performance–based RouteRefer to Appendix B for details of the build–ups that have been successfully tested. This route is applicable as detailed on pages 8 and 9, however please note that the end use design needs to be carefully considered to replicate the design details used in the tested sample.

Kingspan Insulation’s CommitmentKingspan Insulation is committed to a continuing program of testing, both independently and collaboratively, to increase the breadth of BS 8414 fire test data for its external wall products in common build–ups.

Furthermore, Kingspan Insulation has a dedicated technical advisory service for those seeking assistance on projects where these products are specified for use in high–rise buildings.

Kingspan Insulation will endeavour to assist those seeking: collaboration on large scale testing programs; and evidence of performance e.g. official reports and

certification.

Compliance for RoofsThe limitations on roof coverings as set out in the table below should be followed. Roof coverings should be classified to BS EN 13501-5 : 2016 (Fire classification of construction products and building elements. Classification using data from external fire exposure to roof tests) or tested to BS 476-3: 2004 (Fire tests on building materials and structures. Classification and method of test for external fire exposure to roofs). The results of such are shown below in Table 6.

Roofs intended to be fully covered by inorganic materials, listed as per European Commission Decision 2000/553/EC of 6th of September 2000, implementing Council Directive 89/106/ECC can be considered to fulfil the external fire performance requirements without the need for testing.

These are. loose laid gravel ≥ 50 mm or ≥ 80 kgm² (size 4-32 mm); sand/cement screed ≥ 30 mm; or cast stone/mineral slabs ≥ 40 mm.

Roofs – Technical Handbooks 2019

Vulnerability of the roof covering1 European Standard2

Table 6: Separation distances by the type of roof covering.Notes:

1. Roof coverings are expressed in terms of low, medium or high vulnerability. The performance levels relate to the capability of a roof to resist penetration from fire and flame spread when the external surface is exposed to radiation and flames.

2. Roof constructions are classified within EN 13501-5 as Broof(t4), Croof(t4), Droof(t4), Eroof(t4) or Froof(t4) in accordance with BS EN 13501-5. Broof(t4) indicates the highest performance and Froof(t4) the lowest.

Kingspan Insulation offers a number of roof insulation solutions as part of the following ranges: Kingspan Thermaroof®; Kingspan Thermataper®; Kingspan OPTIM-R®; Kingspan OPTIM-R® E; Kingspan QuadCore®; and Kingspan GreenGuard®.

Products that form part of the roof system can be used on roofs provided they meet the requirements of Table 6 or are used in a build–up intended to be fully covered by inorganic materials (for example Kingspan GreenGuard®). Balconies are classed as ‘specified attachments’ and therefore come under the walls section of this document.

Test DataProduct performance is reliant on the roof covering. For further information on the performance please contact your roofing system supplier or waterproof membrane manufacturer.

Factors to ConsiderIrrespective of the chosen route to compliance, there are other fundamental aspects of the building design that must be considered. For example, use of compartmentation to limit internal fire spread or the separation distance between buildings so as to limit the risk of fire spreading from one building to another.

Whilst the fire performance of the building envelope is a vital element of good construction, it is just one of a number of factors that should influence the insulation specification. Since the primary role of the insulation is to conserve energy, thermal performance must also be a key consideration. Other considerations include: correct and effective cavity barrier detailing; BBA certification; LABC Registered Detail status; environmental impact and responsible sourcing; moisture resistance, air–infiltration and durability; insulant thickness and weight, thus associated load

implications; cost and Return on Investment (ROI); daylight inside the building; ease of installation; availability and logistics; and access to technical support from specification through

installation to maintenance.

None of these elements should be regarded in isolation. They should be considered in the context of the building as a whole – its overall design, its intended use, and any associated risks or benefits arising from selected materials in situ.

Other Design Considerations
