fire safety standards
Blaze prevention codes
Fire safety standards are codes and regulations governing building design, materials, and practices to prevent fires and protect occupants.
They specify requirements for exits, alarms, sprinklers, fire-resistant construction, and emergency procedures.
Buildings must meet fire safety standards to receive occupancy permits.
The renovation was delayed because the old wiring didn't meet current fire safety standards.
