Local building regulations in Northern Ireland are being updated to improve fire safety standards, particularly for residential buildings and houses.

The new requirements include provision of fire safety information for most types of premises undergoing building work. They also introduce evacuation alert systems, secure information boxes, wayfinding signage and appropriate fire suppression systems, such as sprinklers, in new high-rise residential buildings.

The new building regulations and associated technical guidance have been published and will come into effect on 6 May 2025.
