PRINT THIS PAGE Fire protection control The fire protection inspection aims to detect any faults and deficiencies in the system. The inspection involves an examination of the plant's function and that its properties mainly correspond to the requirements that applied when it was taken into use. Primarily, the property owner is responsible for fire safety - both at the time of installation and during continuous use. It is also the property owner's responsibility to maintain the facility for fire prevention purposes. This is important to keep in mind as the questions are not only about life and health, but also in terms of property. Any negligence may mean that the insurance no longer applies . WHICH OBJECTS ARE COVERED BY THE FIRE PROTECTION CHECK? The idea with the fire protection control is that it should be more systematic and thorough than the fire protection control that was previously performed, then according to the Rescue Services Act. Today, the Fire Protection Control is covered by Chapter 3. Section 4 of the "Act on protection against accidents". It states that all objects that are subject to the actual sooting - fireplaces and chimneys - as well as roofs and associated building parts must be checked. It is MSB - the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency (formerly the Swedish Rescue Services Agency ) that prescribes which objects are subject to sooting and fire protection control. The following items are up for inspection: Heating, hot water, hot air and steam boilers. Fired kitchen stoves, ovens and other comparable fireplaces. Local fireplaces. Smoke ducts from restaurants, commercial kitchens and comparable spaces. WHAT IS INVESTIGATED IN THE FIRE PROTECTION INSPECTION? During the fire protection inspection, it is not only the fireplace system itself that is examined, but also roofing and other associated building parts, such as floor penetrations as well as boiler rooms and roof safety devices. Furthermore, the control affects the fans, filters and dampers that belong to the property's smoke ducts. The control is performed mainly ocularly. If necessary, in-depth control takes place with the help of instruments. The tightness of the duct can be tested, for example, by temperature measurement, smoke pressure test or leakage measurement. about the company The coastal sooters in Hälsingland were founded in October 2010.
