Firefighting System
I have listed a few design code and references of relevance for Fire protection systems:
| IS NO | Title |
|---|---|
| 2190 | 2010 Selection, installation and maintenance of first-aid fire extinguishers — Code of practice (fourth revision) |
| 2189 | 2008 Selection, installation and maintenance of automatic fire detection and alarm system — Code of practice (fourth revision) |
| 15301 | 2003 Installation and maintenance of fire fighting pumps — Code of practice |
| 13039 | 2014 External hydrant systems— Provision and maintenance — Code of practice (first revision) |
| 3844 | 1989 Code of practice for installation and maintenance of internal fire hydrants and hose reels on premises (first revision) |
| 15105 | 2002 Design and installation of fixed automatic sprinkler fire extinguishing systems Code of practice |
I have made a Pre-NOC check as best practice for reference of fellow industry professionals:
| 1 | There should be 6 meters entrance clearance for fire tender and perimeter |
| 2 | Ensure Protection of exits using fire rated check door |
| 7 | Should make sure Fire-resistant doors for all service shafts (local authority) |
| 8 | There should be Ventilation for staircase areas |
| 9 | Install and integrate Automatic fire detection and alarm system |
| 10 | Fire Extinguishers must be located and installed at key areas. |
| 11 | Smoke Management (exhaust) System should be implemented for basements as well as foyers. |
| 12 | Public address system/Announcement System should be installed and integrated to announce in case of emergency. |
| 13 | Automatic sprinkler system for fire protection should be implemented in basements, hollow plinth, foyers and other areas (depending on build height) |
| 14 | Internal hydrants and yard hydrants should be installed. |
| 15 | Ensure Pumping arrangements in premise as per code and standby diesel pumpset |
| 16 | There should be FBI (Fire Brigade Inlet) provision at each premise entry/exit point |
| 17 | There must be Captive water storage for firefighting (tank size should be as per water calculation) minimum 50kl |
| 18 | Exit and Emergency signages should be located in the passage and key areas. |
| 19 | Make Provision of separate Fire lift |
| 21 | Ensure that Refuge areas are there |
| 22 | Fire control room should be there for monitoring activities. |
| 23 | There should be Evacuation Plan with exit routes and assembly point marked on each floor |
| 24 | Ensure Basement Ventilation System |
| 25 | There should be Special fire protection systems for protection of special risks |
| 26 | CO (Carbon Monoxide) Sensor should be installed |
