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.





Come on everybody let’s help inspire the future

    You need to decide first if the premises are domestic (household) premises. AJJewsbury was almost right but an HRRB needs 2 or more of these in the building in addition to the 7 or more stories and 18m or more high.

    I would suggest that the correct order is to define, "Serviced Apartments" and, "Aparthotels" (you tell me) and then ask whether or to what extent BS 7671 applies. In other words, whether they are, wholly or in part, within scope - 110.1.1.

    I would suggest that both types of premises are in scope for 110.1.1 and are not excluded from the list in 110.2.

    Why do you think that BS 7671 needs to define these premises in particular?

    Would it be easier to say all premises and installations, with the existing Note, excluding those listed in 110.2?  Is it unhelpful for BS 7671 to provide examples?

    I am just forward thinking that the IET and BSI are on the same wave length as the IFE (institute of Fire Engineer) see attached PDF.  PDF
