Draft International Standard: International Fire Safety Standards (IFSS) - Common Principles

This consultation seeks views on the proposed International Fire Safety Standard Common Principles At present, the many contrasting approaches and requirements across the world have resulted in significant variations in the design, approval, construction methods, products and operation of buildings. In some cases, certain regions or nations may not have their own building regulatory documents and may depend upon national and international references for the design and regulation of buildings (i.e. IBC, NFPA). The development of a common understanding of building design, construction and management and how the impact of fire affect these will help to build trust and confidence amongst the many and varied stakeholders. We invite comments on a draft international standard – International Fire Safety Standards (IFSS). Please comment on the technical content of the draft as opposed to the formatting/appearance.
