Minister of Construction Nguyen Thanh Nghi has signed an urgent decision to assign an urgent task to the Institute of Construction Science and Technology (Ministry of Construction) to coordinate with the Fire Prevention and Fighting and Rescue Police Department under the Ministry of Public Security and related units to review all fire safety problems in construction activities.
Minister of Construction Nguyen Thanh Nghi requested to review fire prevention and fighting standards.
At the same time, review the content of national technical regulations on fire safety for houses and buildings to clearly identify problems and causes.
Based on the review, propose contents that need to be revised in QCVN 06:2022. Propose to complete the system of standards and technical regulations on fire prevention and fighting for houses and buildings.
The Minister of Construction also assigned the task of compiling and revising QCVN 06:2022 to ensure scientific basis, suitability with practical conditions in Vietnam, and compliance with relevant legal regulations.
House fire tragedy at dawn, one person died
According to the representative of the Department of Science, Technology and Environment, the decision of the Minister of Construction is based on the proposal of this unit. According to the decision, specialized agencies of the Ministry of Construction will base on the written comments and approvals on fire prevention and fighting to appraise projects, appraise designs and base on the acceptance documents on fire prevention and fighting to inspect and accept construction works from 2013 to present.
Recently, the Department of Science, Technology and Environment has also worked with a working group from the Fire Prevention and Fighting and Rescue Police Department to directly go to production facilities to grasp the situation. Most of the problems exist in the works from before 2021. There are works built decades ago, over time, the factories have been expanded. Meanwhile, the standards are applied to newly built works.
With such old constructions, there are still misunderstandings that new standards must be applied to the entire construction or a part related to the repair and renovation items.
However, according to QCVN 06:2022, this standard can only be applied within the scope of renovation and repair and only in cases where renovation and repair increase the fire risk of the building; the standard cannot be applied outside the scope of renovation and repair.
Regarding the regulations on the use of fireproof construction materials, including fireproof paint, the representative of the Department of Science, Technology and Environment also said that there are still opinions that QCVN 06:2022 requires types of fireproof paint that have not been circulated in Vietnam. But in fact, QCVN 06:2022 or previous versions only provide fire safety requirements for construction materials without requiring the use of specific types of materials. Depending on the economic and technical rationality, choose a suitable design solution. If the structure or structure does not meet the requirements on fire resistance limits corresponding to the fire resistance level of the house or building, an enhanced fire protection solution is required.
Fire protection solutions can be: using paint, brick cladding, concrete..., using normal mortar, including cement mortar, or fireproof mortar, or covering with concrete to create a composite structure, or replacing it completely with other materials such as steel instead of concrete...
