CEN/TS XXXX ‘Fire safety engineering - review and control in the building process'
Abstract
This document describes reviews and controls with a primary focus on technical issues within fire safety engineering. It describes how the fire safety design process, including engineering approaches, forms a normal part of the overall control and review of the building process and defines eligibility criteria for the parties performing the controls. The aim is to facilitate verification of building solutions including innovative and sustainable solutions and to harmonize the process for control within the field of fire safety engineering in European countries. This document is intended to be used as a reference document for building authorities and for use in connection with regulations by designers, local authorities and stakeholders in the building industry. It will describe the review and control of the use of Fire Safety Engineering at fire safety design in the building process and includes both design alternatives. Nevertheless, it will take into account all life phases of a building: - the planning and design, - the construction - The use and operation which needs maintenance - The changes in the use - The demolition by the end of life which does not suggest the end of materials and end of products (notion of reuse) The level of consequences and complexity of construction will require different levels of checks. The technical specifications will propose a scheme of checks with different levels that member states may choose to implement in their national regulatory regime.
