BS7671 and Serviced Apartments and Aparthotels

Sergio Fernandez

Can the terms be formally defined for BS7671 and BS5839 in a cohesive manner?
What is a Serviced Apartments 
What is a Aparthotels

As an example some people see Aparthotels as used for shorter term occupancy Caveat time hotel bedrooms do not usually include the cooking facilities thus impacted by BS5839 part 1 and 6


What happens IF building includes a combination of short term and long term occupancy?

Could/Would/Should serviced apartments be treated as High Risk Building?



As always please be polite and respectful in this purely academic debate.

  • Could/Would/Should serviced apartments be treated as High Risk Building?

    I'm not sure about BS 5839, but as far as BS 7671 is concerned, I think that depends (only) on the height of the building (18m or 6 storeys) - so the type of occupancy doesn't come into it (unless new legislation says otherwise, then it's down to that legislation to define).

    Otherwise I don't recall any BS 7671 provisions that depend on these sorts to terms, so I'd have to ask why we'd need any such definitions?
