It is necessary to develop a fire safety system that would protect the health and lives of people, as well as the integrity of property in emergency situations. First and foremost, it is necessary to determine the most suitable mechanisms of the system’s operation, as well as select appropriate materials and equipment that meet all requirements.
What Does the Design Documentation of a Fire Safety System Include?
Building fire safety is ensured not only by installing fire alarms and extinguishers, as well as posting evacuation plans, but also by other means.
The design documentation should be developed taking into account the features of the facility and its multifunctional purpose, where it is necessary to provide:
- All evacuation and emergency exits in case of smoke, fire, or other emergencies.
- An automated system for notifying people.
- Smoke protection.
- Good technical equipment for air conditioning and ventilation systems.
- A device for lightning protection and protection against lightning.
- Access to fire reservoirs, water tanks.
However, an equally important factor in building fire safety is the architectural and construction design of the premises (its structural features and materials), the implementation of necessary gaps or setbacks. This fact must be taken into account during the design process.
Step-by-Step Development of Building Fire System Design
When designing, the specificity of the building must be taken into account. The project should include works such as:
- Investigation of objects, their planning based on fire load calculations considering the specificity of materials and the working factor.
- Selection of a fire alarm system, automatic smoke removal, and fire extinguishing system.
- Development of drawings, diagrams, and plans with the placement of fire system components.
- Preparation and compilation of estimate documentation and explanatory notes for supervisory authorities.
A project that does not meet fire safety requirements will be rejected or put into operation with violations of requirements.
Considering the shortcomings of the project and the shortcomings in the work of the designer, human casualties, fines, and sanctions from the Emergencies Ministry can be expected.
Regulatory Acts for Fire System Design
For all buildings (except auxiliary and private garages), a special admission of self-regulatory organizations (SRO) applies.
No licenses are required for the development and production of fire systems. A license is required for the installation and maintenance of fire protection devices and commissioning.
The design of the fire system must be carried out only by a specialized company. Their duties include the development of a fire alarm system project, as well as the maintenance of fire protection systems.
Based on approved projects and technical conditions for the installation of fire protection systems for facilities, they can be installed where they are needed. Fire equipment should be located in such a way that it immediately detects the ignition source.
Currently, radio or GSM detectors, which transmit data using cellular communication, are becoming increasingly popular. They detect fire much earlier than spot heat and linear devices.
