I think i know the answer, and it's just another way of fleecing money, but what is the justification for charging so much for copies of the regs books??
I am looking into installing a fire alarm system into a building on our factory site, and obviously, i want to completely comply with the regs. To do this, i need a copy of the relevant regs, which in this case is BS5839 'Fire detection and fire alarm systems for buildings Code of practice for design, installation, commissioning and maintenance of systems in non-domestic premises'.
I have looked online and a copy of this will cost upwards of 200 quid?! BS7671 is around £65. I can accept that the OSG, and guidance notes are more helpful books with regards user friendliness, and can, ahem, almost justify paying for these help books. BUT surely being a British standard, they should be readily available at least online for free?!?!
This wont be my last rant or tantrum today, bad day Thursdays are back.
