The Scottish government published updated building standards technical handbooks in December 2020. One of the main changes introduced by these documents is a requirement for automatic fire suppression systems in all new flats, maisonettes, new social housing dwellings and new shared multi-occupancy residential buildings. The revised standards and supporting guidance apply to all building warrants submitted on or after 1 March 2021.


Previously, fire sprinklers were only required in new high-rise blocks of flats above 18 metres.
