Water mist is covered by recognised British Standards — BS 8458 for residential and light commercial premises, and BS 8489 for larger commercial and industrial applications. BS 8458 was formally withdrawn in July 2025 and is being succeeded by BS EN 14972-17 — Scotland’s current building standards handbooks still cite BS 8458, so it remains the correct design standard today.
Commercial work is a genuine part of what we do, not an afterthought bolted onto a residential business. As a duty-holder you’re responsible for fire safety on your premises — a certified system supports your fire risk assessment, and wherever you are between the Highlands and the Solway, the survey, design and paperwork trail get the same attention either way.
