This Measure aims to reduce the incidence of death and injury from fires in newly created residences in Wales by placing a duty on the construction industry to ensure that each new residence built in Wales must be provided with an automatic fire suppression system that operates effectively and complies with regulations which are to be made by the Welsh Ministers.
A failure to meet this duty would be treated as equivalent to a breach of building regulations under the Building Act 1984. Such a duty only applies to the construction of new residences in Wales.
