ABSTRACT
Whereas the current fire safety in buildings legislation must be implemented for any new construction, rehabilitation projects may fall under any of the following situations:
The general rule: current regulations are mandatory when refurbishing a building;
Special case for protected buildings where regulations are neither applicable nor practical: contingency protection measures are implemented;
Ad-hoc fire safety in buildings measure implementation for any building with an atypical risk profile, meaning standard regulations are wholly inadequate. These situations must be detailed in full by those responsible to enable a thorough riskbased analysis of proposed measures.
