A representative of the Fire Prevention and Fighting and Rescue Police Department (Ministry of Public Security) said that recently, many individuals, organizations and businesses have been confused when implementing legal regulations on fire prevention and fighting. Especially for constructions with structures using fireproof paint.
Mr. Tran Dung (owner of a business in Nam Dinh) said that he wants to expand the production activities of his factory. However, he himself does not know whether his factory building needs to use fireproof paint or not?
Ms. Hoang Thu Ha (investor of a factory in Bac Ninh) also expressed confusion regarding the issue of fire safety acceptance.
"The fire prevention consulting unit told me that all factory structures must use fireproof paint to ensure fire prevention. But I see that with a large factory area, if fireproof paint is required, the cost may increase," said Ms. Ha.
Regarding these concerns, a representative of the Fire Prevention and Fighting Police Department said that the problems related to regulations on the use of fireproof coatings for constructions are mainly due to investors not fully understanding fire prevention and fighting regulations.
The representative of the Fire Prevention and Rescue Police Department explained that according to the National Technical Regulation QCVN 06:2020/BXD on Fire Safety for Houses and Constructions, when designing constructions, there must be structural solutions, layout, space and construction techniques so that when a fire or explosion occurs, the construction can still maintain overall stability and remain unchanged for a certain period of time.
These requirements are clearly shown by the fire resistance level of the building. Accordingly, the structural components of the building must achieve the minimum fire resistance limit corresponding to the fire resistance level of the building.
Regarding concerns related to the issue of requiring steel structures of factories to use fireproof paint, the Fire Prevention and Fighting and Rescue Police Department said that it is not necessary to use fireproof paint for projects and constructions.
According to the explanation of the Fire Prevention and Fighting Police Department, Standard 06 has provided many solutions for investors and construction contractors to choose for fire prevention and fighting such as using typical protection similar to the instructions in Appendix F of Standard 06:2020/BXD; using a protective layer in the form of fireproof mortar, or a protective layer in the form of panels such as plaster, fireproof panels...; using fireproof paint, using water or liquid cooling techniques; using materials with fire-resistant properties...
According to the Fire Prevention and Rescue Police Department, investors and contractors choose fireproof paint to facilitate the construction process and enhance aesthetics... Meanwhile, the important factor is fireproof design to determine the main load-bearing structures, from which there is a corresponding fire protection plan. However, this step is often overlooked by investors or consultants.
The Fire Prevention and Rescue Police Department also noted that currently, there are many types of fireproof paint on the market, each type of paint has different protective effects on each type of structure.
Therefore, when using fireproof paint for construction, investors must consult and choose paint that has been tested and proven effective, suitable for the structure of the construction.
