Leaders of the Institute of Construction Science and Technology - the unit that disseminates training and presents Amendment 1:2023 QCVN 06:2022/BXD

QCVN 06:2022/BXD National technical regulation on fire safety for houses and constructions was issued by the Ministry of Construction on November 30, 2022, effective from January 16, 2023. However, many units and individuals have encountered difficulties when applying QCVN 06:2022/BXD. Implementing the direction of the Prime Minister and after a period of research, the Ministry of Construction has proactively reviewed, revised and supplemented a number of articles of QCVN 06:2022/BXD to ensure scientific and practical basis.

The content of Amendment 1:2023 QCVN 06:2022/BXD supplements a number of technical issues to ensure fire safety and escape in case of fire and explosion, taking into account the characteristics of small-scale works and the fire hazard of the works themselves. At the same time, many suitable solutions are added for investors and consultants to choose from. The revised contents of the Standard have focused on decentralizing the issuance of fire prevention and fighting regulations to localities, allowing the replacement of the requirements of the Standard depending on local practice and authority according to decentralization; the form of replacement is the Local Technical Standard. Supplement or modify terms such as common room, side corridor, direct exit, mixed-use building, etc.

Regarding renovation and repair, the revised content clarifies and narrows the scope in a consistent manner with the provisions of Decree 136/ND-CP guiding the Law on Fire Prevention and Fighting and the amended Law on Fire Prevention and Fighting.

Regarding the application of foreign standards, it is allowed to apply synchronously without having to compare with QCVN 06:2022/BXD. Other technical contents on escape, fire prevention, fire fighting, structure, smoke protection, fire compartment and number of floors are all supplemented with specific requirements associated with the object according to fire hazard and current domestic construction practices.

Associate Professor, Dr. Vu Ngoc Anh, Director of the Department of Science, Technology and Environment (Ministry of Construction) spoke at the workshop.

Opinions at the workshop focused on analyzing and clarifying the difficulties in applying previous versions of QCVN 06. Thereby, it will be continuously researched and updated to keep up with the reality of new technologies, creating favorable conditions for investment, reducing costs and ensuring safety for people and construction works.
