The provisions of the Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations (DSEAR) 2002 will come into force in July 2006 for workplaces that were in use prior to July 2003.

In discussing the standards, draft standards, legislation and other publications relating to the prevention of fire and explosion in the chemical and allied industries, PD 6686 is intended to compliment the planned revision to BS 5908, Code of practice for fire precautions in the chemical and allied industries.
