When is a fire safety report required?
A fire safety report is the technical document that sets out the measures needed to prevent fire, limit its spread, evacuate people safely and allow the fire service to intervene effectively. It is required in the following cases:
Building permit
For new buildings, as required by the municipality and AME.
Renovation or extension
When the layout, escape routes or fire load change.
Change of use
E.g. from warehouse to commercial building, from office to hotel.
Technical acceptance
When proof that fire protection measures have been implemented is required.
AME inspections
To address findings and bring the existing situation into line.
Insurer and investor requirements
Independent technical assessments and reports.
Types of building
- Residential and multi-occupancy buildings
- Commercial buildings and offices
- Hotels, restaurants, shopping centres
- Hospitals, schools, public buildings
- Factories, workshops and warehouses
- High-rise buildings (over 22 m)
- Rooftop and ground-mounted photovoltaic (PV) systems
- Fuel stations and higher-risk buildings
Every report is prepared for the specific building: the classification, fire load and protection measures are set by its use, height, floor area and number of occupants.
What the report contains
The content follows Administrative Instruction (MIA) No. 12/2017 on the content of fire safety reports. The report consists of a written part with calculations and a set of drawings, and its structure is adapted to the type and complexity of the building.
