Quick scan Fire Safety in Buildings

As the owner or user of a building you are responsible for the property’s fire safety. In practice this often appears to be complicated. The Dutch Building Decree (Bouwbesluit) 2012 includes all minimal fire safety requirements that buildings in the Netherlands must meet. To determine whether your property is in compliance with applicable fire safety laws and regulations, Kiwa Fire Safety & Secuirty (Kiwa FSS) can conduct a fire safety quick scan.

Kiwa FSS’s quick scan Fire Safety in Buildings is an independent investigation to determine the current status of fire safety precautions. This can take place on two levels:

1. Quick scan

Based on the basic principles (permit, law, basic documents) it is established administratively and visually in broad terms to what extent the existing fire protection measures are adequate.

2. Zero inspection

The zero inspection consists of the quick scan mentioned above plus a random functional test. We conduct investigations in the following areas:

  • Structural fire safety;
  • Fire alarm systems;
  • Evacuation alarm systems;
  • Smoke and heat extraction and overpressure installations;
  • Automatic fire extinguishing systems;
  • Emergency lighting installations;
  • CO/LPG and gas detection installations;
  • Small fire extinguishers and dry risers.

The result of the investigation is a report describing the status of the assessed fire safety facilities, at the level of:

  • Legislation/policy;
  • Starting point document(s);
  • Norms/regulations/standards.
