fire safety codes
Flame prevention rules
Fire safety codes are regulations established by governments or standards organizations that specify requirements for building design, construction, and maintenance to prevent fires and protect occupants.
These codes typically address elements like sprinkler systems, fire alarms, emergency exits, and fire-resistant materials.
Buildings must meet fire safety codes before occupancy permits are issued, and violations can result in fines or forced closures.
