TCVN 3254 Fire Safety - General Requirements
Group No. 1
This standard applies to all industrial and public construction in all the economic
activities and stipulates the general requirements of fire safety for these above
constructions.
1. General
1.1. Apart from the requirements in the clauses of this standard, it is require to
obey the TCVN 2622 : 1978, which are the standards for fire safety of
separated works.
1.2. For ensuring the fire safety, the following systems are required:
- Fire protection system
- Fire fighting system
1.3. It needs to examine the fire protection system for specific work to assure that
no fire occurs during the using of this system.
1.4. It is required to examine the fire fighting system for specific work to assure
that when fire occurs, it has an ability to limit the size of the fire, to stamp out
the fire and to restrain the damage to the human and the work.
1.5. The essential calculations for the fire protection and fighting system as well
as the initial data determination for these calculations are carried out by the
Ministries and Head Departments conforming to the standards and
documents that are issued.

1.7. Must guarantee the safety of the human when the fire occurs in any place of
the construction.
1.8. The fire safety of the works must be ensured during normal operation as well
as maintenance, reform and breakdown events.
1.9. Every organization must calculate the economic efficiency of fire protecting
and fire fighting methods.
2.3. To prevent the creation of fire caused source in the inflammable environment
must:
Have the stipulations for design, manufacturing, utilization, operation and
maintenance of equipments, machineries, materials and products that may
be the fire caused source in the inflammable environment.

and material in case of touching to the inflammable environment.
Stipulate the allowed maximum energy of electric spark in the inflammable
environment.
Stipulate the allowed maximum temperature when in case of heating the
inflammable substances, materials and compositions.
Use the devices with no electric spark in case of working with the
inflammable substances.
Exclude the touch with the fine-kindling substances and the baked thing in
the atmosphere with temperature over the stipulation at clause 2.3.
Exclude the ability of self-burning caused by heat, chemical reaction or
creatures from substance, material, product and structure of the
construction.
Forbidden of using bare flame in the inflammable environment.

Having the fire fighting distance and protection area
3.4. The following methods must be carried out to prevent the spread of fire:
Use fire prevent devices (wall, area, protection belt…)
Use on/off mechanism on the equipments and the pipeline in case of
breakdown
Use facilities preventing liquid on fire from for flooding and spreading.
Put allowed bounds to the areas of fire fighting compartments.
Use safe layers for equipments and pipelines.
3.5. The fire fighting facilities must have the ability of restraining the size of fire as
well as conform to the following stipulations:
The permitted and not permitted equipment categories used for fire fighting.
The category, amount, arrangement and maintenance of local fire fighting
facilities
Maintenance regulation for special fire fighting substances
Water source and firewater supply facilities.
The minimum permitted amount of fire fighting substances (powder, mix
gas…)
Increasing rate required for technical fire fighting facilities.
Category, capacity and quick response property of the fire fighting system
Location and maintenance for fire fighting facilities

3.6. The structure of constructions must have a suitable fireproof level to
guarantee that the force proof and holding-up abilities can be maintained
continuously in the enough time for people to escape or reach for shelters.
This fireproof level must be determined at the condition without the influent of
fire fighting facilities on the fire.
To prevent the development of the fire, the determination of this fireproof
level of the structure also bases on the fire dangerous property of the
process of manufacturing.
3.7. Every construction must have the technical plan and sensible arrangement
to guarantee that people can escape quickly from the dangerous area before
the dangerous and harmful factors reaching to the permitted limit.
To guarantee for people escaping must:
Put the amount and dimensions of the exit for the emergency door.
Guarantee the convenient exits for people
3.8. Human protection facilities must guarantee the safety for the human during
the time affected by fire dangerous factors. It is required to have the human
protection facility in case of escaping difficulties or not necessary.
3.9. The smoke discharge system must guarantee that no smoke in emergency
exits during the enough time for all people escaping.
3.10. Every enterprise must have communication equipment or fire alarm to rely on
for informing timely when fire just occurs.
4.1. Leader or manager of the enterprise is responsible for setup the organization
and technical methods of fire safety’s guaranty for his/her enterprise.
4.2. Every enterprise have to setup the detailed fire fighting methods to stamp out
a fire timely in case of happening and reduce human and material losses to
the minimum.
