Building classification and occupancy
The first step in applying the NBC fire safety rules is classifying the building based on its use (e.g., Residential, Assembly, Industrial). This classification dictates the specific fire NBC norms applicable to fire resistance ratings, egress requirements, and necessary safety features.
Safe egress and means of escape
Life safety is the priority. The NBC 2016 fire safety provisions detail requirements for safe means of escape, including stairs, corridors, and exit doors. Key concepts covered are:
- Exit Width: Minimum required clear width for safe passage.
- Travel Distance: Maximum permissible distance to reach a safe exit.
- Number of Exits: Minimum required based on occupancy load.
Effective means of escape, as mandated by the national building code 2016 fire safety rules, are critical during an emergency.
Fire resistance and compartmentation
The code specifies fire resistance requirements, often achieved through fire compartmentation-dividing a building using fire-resistant walls and floors to limit fire spread. The presentation explains:
- Fire Separation Walls: Walls with specified fire-resistance ratings.
- Fire Doors and Fire Stops: Used to maintain the integrity of fire-rated compartments.
Active fire protection is a major focus of NBC 2016 Part 4.
Fire detection and alarm systems
The NBC fire norms mandate appropriate detection and alarm systems for early warning. This includes requirements for:
- Smoke/Heat Detectors: Placement and zoning requirements.
- Manual Call Points and PAVA Systems: For manual and automated emergency communication.
Fire fighting installations
The presentation covers the mandatory fire suppression requirements based on building type and height:
- Fire Extinguishers: Specification for type and placement.
- Hose Reel and Wet Riser Systems: For taller buildings.
- Automatic Sprinkler Systems: Often mandatory for high-rise or large-area buildings.
- Fire Pump House: Requirements for pumps and water storage.
This guide helps professionals quickly grasp the mandatory NBC norms for fire safety for active systems.
