On May 1, 2009, Federal Law No. 123-ФЗ “ Technical Regulations on Fire Safety Requirements ” entered into force, which introduces a completely new mechanism for monitoring and monitoring fire safety at defense facilities. It combines the numerous fire safety requirements in force in Russia before. According to the Law, each object of protection (building, structure, technological installations, equipment, etc.) must have a fire safety system that meets the specified fire risk standards. An independent fire risk assessment (fire safety audit) can be carried out by expert organizations accredited to the Ministry of Emergencies.
In the case of establishing the compliance of the object of protection with the fire safety requirements established by federal laws on technical regulations and normative documents on fire safety by an independent assessment of fire risk, the owner receives a conclusion on the independent assessment of fire risk for a period of not more than 3 years.
