The UK National Annex to BS EN 1995-1-2:2004, titled "Design of Timber Structures - General Structural Fire Design," provides specific guidelines and regulations for the design of timber structures in the UK. It outlines the procedures and values that are recommended for use in the country, where the Eurocode 5 standard allows for national choice.

One of the key aspects covered in this standard is the inclusion of the Nationally Determined Parameters (NDP). These parameters are specific to the UK and are used to determine the design requirements for timber structures in the event of a fire. The standard ensures that these NDPs are used in conjunction with the Eurocode 5 standard for fire design, ensuring compliance with the UK regulations.

By providing these guidelines, the UK National Annex ensures that timber structures in the country are designed to withstand fire hazards and meet the necessary safety requirements. It ensures that the design and construction of timber structures are in line with the specific fire design provisions applicable in the UK.
