Fire Safety Legislation

When it Comes to Fire Safety, there is Extensive Legislation and many Regulations. These Vary from Object to Object. For Example, an Office Must Meet Different Requirements than a Healthcare Facility. This is Related to the Functional Use of an Object and the Associated Fire Safety Risk. Depending on the functional use and risk, there is more or less legislation regarding the fire safety of a structure.

Fire Safety Legislation and Regulations - NEN

Building Decree 2012

The Building Decree 2012 extensively describes the fire safety requirements an object must meet. The Building Decree includes regulations regarding (technical) installations, such as fire alarm and evacuation systems, and the use of buildings and premises. But requirements are also set for, for example, the compartmentalization and strength of a building and the presence of escape routes.

The NEN 2535 provides rules for the design, implementation, compatibility, and quality of the fire alarm system to be installed. To keep a fire alarm system in good condition, proper maintenance and management are essential. The NEN 2654-1 sets requirements for how management and maintenance of a fire alarm system should be carried out.

When the Building Decree 2012 requires a fire alarm system for the use of a building, an evacuation system that complies with NEN 2575 is also mandatory. The standard provides requirements for the design, implementation, compatibility, and quality of evacuation alarm systems intended to evacuate a building quickly and orderly in case of fire or other emergency. NEN 2654-2 describes how the manager of an evacuation alarm system should ensure proper management and maintenance of the system.
