Unlike Smoke Control Systems, Pressurisation systems rely on the integrity of the fabric of the building in the working area for their performance characteristics, and any shortfall in this area can seriously affect the overall performance, and therefore the level of Life Safety Protection provided (both for means of escape and for fire fighting personnel).

For this reason, the Standards and Regulations applied to pressurisation systems differ from those applied to active smoke control systems.

For Pressurisation Systems (Stairwell, lobbies, corridors), Regulations include:

- 1997 Fire Precautions (Workplace) Regulations
- 1999 Fire Precautions (Health and Safety) Regulations
- BRE 368 (1999)
- Fire Safety Act 1987
- BS7346:1990 Part I (for damper sets, de-pressurisation units)
- H & S Reg 6 Para 33 - Mechanical Ventilation Systems
- BS5588:1998 - All parts relating to Pressurisation Systems
- BS5588:1998 Part 4 specific for Pressurisation Systems
- BSRIA Specification 1/75 for Pressurisation Systems
- IHVE Commissioning code A for Pressurisation Systems
- H & S Regulation 6 - Maintenance and Testing
- H & S and IEE Regulations - servicing and high level access works.

Important
Regulatory Compliance can only be achieved by 'hands on' servicing/cleaning/checking to all elements of the scheme as listed on the service contract equipment register.
