FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEMS EXAMINATION AT THE SPECIAL TECHNICAL CONDITIONS APPROVAL STAGE

Modeling emergency situations during the design phase of a protected object should occur in the absence of established design standards and the formulation of specific technical conditions. The generation of these solutions necessitates a comprehensive analysis of the protected object and a high level of expertise in fire safety matters. It is recommended that territorial regulatory and technical councils collaborate with specialists from specialized educational and research institutions affiliated with EMERCOM of Russia when evaluating special technical conditions. This collaboration may involve including these specialists in the commission or producing a separate report on a contractual basis. The study highlights the intricacies of modeling maximum heat flux density during a fire and developing compensatory measures, incorporating feedback from experts at a fire-technical educational institution. A shopping center, for which no design standards for selecting fire barriers exist, is used as a case study. Seven potential emergency scenarios are analyzed, and typical observations are identified during these assessments. Developers are urged to prioritize the calculation of fire risk and to consider the evacuation time of individuals as a critical factor in their designs.
