This regulation is intended to achieve a sufficient degree of safety in the event of fire in industrial facilities and facilities.

The presence of fire risk in industrial establishments determines the likelihood of fires, damage and loss generators for people and property, which affect both themselves and your environment.

The basic standard of construction, approved by Royal Decree 2177/1996 of 4 October, lays down the conditions to be met by buildings, excluding those for industrial use, to protect their occupants against risks caused by a fire and to prevent damage to third parties.

The regulation of the conditions to be met by equipment, equipment and systems, as well as their installation and maintenance, in addition to the regulation of installers and maintainers, is provided for in the Regulation of installations. of fire protection, approved by Royal Decree 1942/1993 of 5 November, and in the Order of 16 April 1998.

The Ministry of Industry, Tourism and Trade also deals with regulating fire protection conditions in industrial establishments with a horizontal character, i.e. of industrial activity.

The Third Chamber of the Supreme Court, by the judgment of 27 October 2003, in estimating the administrative dispute-administrative action n ° 495/2001, declares, by default of form, the previous fire safety regulation in the industrial establishments, approved by Royal Decree 786/2001 of 6 July 2001.

Article 12 of Law 21/1992 of 16 July 1992 on Industry deals with the general content of the safety regulations and provides for the instruments necessary for the implementation of this Regulation in respect of the competencies corresponding to other public administrations.

According to them, this regulation is structured in such a way that the regulation meets the basic requirements of a general nature, in order to develop in its annexes the applicable criteria, conditions and requirements technical and therefore subject to possible changes resulting from its development.

This royal decree has been subject to the procedure of information in the field of technical norms and regulations and regulations concerning the services of the information society, regulated in Royal Decree 1337/1999, For the purpose of implementing the provisions of Directive 98 /34/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 June 1998, as amended by Directive 98 /48/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 July 1998, 31 July 1998.

This royal decree is approved in the exercise of the powers that, in relation to the matter of industrial safety, have come to attribute expressly to the General Administration of the State the totality of the Autonomy, as has been repeatedly stated in the case law of the Constitutional Court (for all of them, the Sentences of the Constitutional Court 2003/1992, of November 26, and 243/1994, of July 21).

In its virtue, on the proposal of the Minister of Industry, Tourism and Trade, in agreement with the Council of State and after deliberation of the Council of Ministers at its meeting on 3 December 2004,

DISPONGO:

ANNEX I

Characterization of industrial establishments in relation to fire safety

1. Establishment.

The establishment of the building, building, area of the building, installation or open space of industrial use or warehouse, as provided for in Article 2, is intended to be used under an ownership differentiated and whose construction or reform project, as well as the start of the planned activity, is subject to administrative control.

Industrial establishments will be characterized by:

a) Your configuration and location in relation to your environment.

b) Your intrinsic risk level.

2. Characteristics of industrial establishments by their configuration and location in relation to their environment.

The many different configurations and locations that industrial establishments may have are considered to be reduced to:

2.1 Industrial establishments located in a building:

TYPE A: The industrial establishment partially occupies a building that has, in addition, other establishments, be they industrial use already of other uses.

TYPE B: the industrial establishment is fully occupied by a building which is attached to another building or other buildings, or at a distance of three metres from another or other buildings, from another establishment, whether these are for use industrial or other uses.

For industrial establishments that occupy a ship with a shared structure with the adjacent ones, which shall in any case have an independent cover, compliance with the requirements corresponding to the type shall be accepted. B, provided that it is technically justified that the possible collapse of the structure does not affect the adjacent ships.

TYPE C: the industrial establishment is fully occupied by a building, or several, if any, which is more than three metres away from the nearest building of other establishments. Such distance shall be free from combustible goods or intermediate elements liable to spread the fire.

2.2 Industrial establishments that develop their activity in open spaces that do not constitute a building:

TYPE D: The industrial establishment occupies an open space, which can be fully covered, some of whose facades are totally devoid of lateral enclosure.

TYPE E: The industrial establishment occupies an open space that may be partially covered (up to 50 percent of its surface), some of whose facades on the covered part are totally devoid of lateral enclosure.

TYPE A: common portant structure with other establishments

TYPE B

TYPE C

TIPOS D and E

2.3 Where the characterisation of an industrial establishment or part of an industrial establishment does not exactly match any of the rates defined in paragraphs 2.1 and 2.2, it shall be deemed to belong to the type with which it is best equating or justifiably assimilating.

In an industrial setting, different configurations can coexist, so the requirements of this regulation must be applied differently for each of them.

3. Characterization of industrial establishments by their intrinsic risk level.

Industrial establishments are classified according to their degree of intrinsic risk, taking into account the simplified criteria and according to the following procedures.

3.1 Industrial establishments, in general, will be made up of one or more configurations of types A, B, C, D and E. Each of these configurations will constitute one or more areas (sectors or areas of fire) of the industrial establishment.

1. For types A, B and C, the building space closed by fire-resistant elements during the time to be established in each case is considered to be 'fire sector'.

2. For types D and E, the surface they occupy is considered to be an open fire area, defined only by its perimeter.

3.2 The intrinsic risk level of each sector or area of fire will be assessed:

1. Calculating the following expression, which determines the density of fire load, weighted and corrected, of that sector or area of fire:

where:

Q_s = fire load density, weighted and corrected, sector or fire area, in MJ/m² or Mcal/m².

G_i = mass, in kg, of each of the fuels (i) that exist in the sector or area of fire (including combustible building materials).

q_i = calorific power, in MJ/kg or Mcal/kg, of each of the fuels (i) that exist in the fire sector.

C_i = dimensionless coefficient that weighs the degree of dangerousness (by the solubility) of each of the fuels (i) that exist in the fire sector.

R_a = dimensionless coefficient that corrects the degree of dangerousness (by activation) inherent in the industrial activity that develops in the fire, production, assembly, transformation, repair, storage, etc.

When there are several activities in the same sector, the risk factor for activation of the activity of higher activation risk is taken as a risk factor, provided that the activity occupies at least 10 percent of the surface area. of the fire sector or area.

A = built surface of the fire sector or busy area of the fire area, in m².

The values of the hazard ratio by fuel, C_i, of each fuel can be deducted from Table 1.1, the CEA Catalogue of products and goods, or similar tables of recognized prestige whose use must be justified.

The values of the hazard ratio by activation, R_a, can be deducted from table 1.2.

The values of the calorific value q_i, of each fuel, can be deducted from Table 1.4.

Note: ITC MIE-APQ1 of the Chemical Storage Regulation, approved by Royal Decree 379/2001 of 6 April.

2. As an alternative to the above formula the fire load density, weighted and corrected, Qs, can be evaluated from the fire sector by applying the following expressions.

a) For production, transformation, repair, or any other activities other than storage:

where:

Q_s, C_i, R_a , and A have the same significance as in the previous section 3.2.1.

q_yes = the fire load density of each zone with different processing according to the different processes that are performed in the fire sector (i), in MJ/m² , or Mcal/m².

S_i = surface of each zone with different process and fire load density, q_if different, in m².

Average fire load density values, q_yes, can be obtained from table 1.2.

Note: for the purposes of the calculation, the collection or storage of materials or products collected for the maintenance of the production processes of assembly, transformation or repair, or resulting thereof, is not accounted for. consumption or production is daily and constitute the so-called "day store". These materials or products shall be considered to be incorporated in the production process of assembly, processing, repair, etc., to which they are to be applied or from which they are carried out.

b) For storage activities:

where:

Q_s, C_i, R_a , and A have the same significance as in the previous section 3.2.1.

q_vi = fire load, contributed by each m³ of each zone with different type of storage (i) existing in the fire sector, in MJ/m³ or Mcal/m³.

h_i = height of storage for each of the fuels, (i), in m.

s_i = floor space occupied by each zone with different type of storage (i) existing in the fire sector in m².

The values of the fire load, per cubic meter q_vi, contributed by each of the fuels, can be obtained from Table 1.2.

3.3 The intrinsic risk level of a building or a set of industries and/or fire areas of an industrial establishment, for the purposes of applying this regulation, will be assessed by calculating the following expression, which determines the density of fire load, weighted and corrected, Q_e, of that industrial building.

where:

Q_e = fire load density, weighted and corrected, of the industrial building, in MJ/m² or Mcal/m².

Q_yes = fire load density, weighted and corrected, for each of the sectors or areas of fire, (i), which make up the industrial building, in MJ/m² or Mcal/m².

A_i = the constructed surface of each of the sectors or areas of fire, (i), which make up the industrial building, in m².

3.4 For the purposes of this Regulation, the intrinsic risk level of an industrial establishment, when it develops its activity in more than one building, located in the same enclosure, shall be assessed by calculating the following expression, which determines the fire load, weighted and corrected, Q_E, of that industrial establishment:

where:

Q_E = fire load density, weighted and corrected, of the industrial establishment, in MJ/m² or Mcal/m².

Q_ei = the weighted and corrected fire load density of each of the industrial buildings, (i), which make up the industrial establishment in MJ/m² or Mcal/m².

A_ei = constructed surface of each of the industrial buildings, (i), which make up the industrial establishment, in m².

3.5 Devalued the weighted fire load density, and corrected for a fire sector or area, (Q_s), an industrial building (Q_e), or an industrial setting (Q_E), according to any of the the procedures set out in paragraphs 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4 respectively, the intrinsic risk level of the fire sector or area, of the industrial building, or of the industrial establishment, is deducted from Table 1.3.

3.6 For the intrinsic risk assessment, the use of recognised assessment methods can also be used; in this case, the method used should be justified in the project.

ANNEX II

Constructive requirements for industrial establishments based on their intrinsic configuration, location and level of risk

Definitions.

This fire safety regulation uses terms that may be subject to different interpretations.

In order to avoid different interpretations, which may even become contradictory or to be set against the spirit of the text of the regulation, the following definitions are laid down for some of the terms included in the the.

A. Accessible facades.

Both urban planning and the conditions of design and construction of the buildings, in particular the immediate environment, their access, their holes in front, etc., must enable and facilitate the intervention of the fire extinguishing services.

Local authorities will be able to regulate the conditions they deem necessary to comply with the above; in the absence of regulatory regulation by the local authorities, the recommendations indicated to continuation.

They are considered to be accessible facades of a building, or industrial establishment, those that have gaps that allow access from outside to the fire extinguishing service personnel.

Facade gaps must meet the following conditions:

a) Facilitate access to each of the floors of the building, so that the height of the sill with respect to the level of the plant at which it accesses is no greater than 1.20 m.

b) Its horizontal and vertical dimensions must be at least 0.80 m and 1,20 m, respectively. The maximum distance between the vertical axes of two consecutive voids must not exceed 25 m, measured on the facade.

(c) No elements should be installed in front of elements that prevent or hinder the accessibility of the building through such holes, except for the safety elements in the holes of the plants whose height of Evacuation does not exceed nine m.

In addition, in order to consider the accessible facade as defined, the conditions of the building environment and the conditions of approach to this building must be met:

A. 1. Conditions of the building environment.

(a) Buildings with a descending discharge height greater than nine m must have a space for manoeuvre suitable for the passage of vehicles, which meets the following conditions along the accessible facades:

1. Minimum free width: six m.

2. Free Height: the building.

3. th Maximum building separation: 10 m.

4. th Maximum distance to any main access to the building: 30 m.

5. Top Pending: 10 percent.

6. Ground Port Capacity: 2000 kp/m².

7. Ground punching resistance: 10 t on 20 cm Ø.

The condition referred to the punching must be met in the recording caps of the public service channels, if the dimensions are greater than 0.15 m × 0.15 m, and must be closed to the specifications of the UNE-EN 124:1995 standard.

The wiggle room should be kept free of urban furniture, trees, gardens, mojones, or other obstacles.

In buildings in closed block, the only access and void of which are open exclusively to patios or inner squares, there shall be an access to these for the vehicles of the fire extinguishing service. Both the places or the yards and the accesses mentioned above shall comply with the provisions of paragraph A. 2 above.

(b) In built-up areas bordering or inland to forest areas, the conditions set out in paragraph 10 of this Appendix must be met.

A. 2. Conditions for the approximation of buildings.

The approach vials up to the accessible facades of the industrial establishments, as well as the manoeuvring spaces referred to in the previous paragraph, must meet the following conditions:

1. Minimum free width: five m.

2. Minimum free height or galibo: 4.50 m.

3. Vial Bearing Capacity: 2000 kp/m².

In the curved sections, the tread must be delimited by the trace of a circular crown whose minimum radii must be 5.30 m and 12, 50 m, with a free width for circulation of 7.20 m.

B. Portant structure.

A building structure shall be understood as the building structure consisting of the following elements: forged, beams, supports and main and secondary deck structure.

C. Cover main structure and its supports.

The main cover structure and its supports shall be the cover structure of the cover structure itself (lintel, cercha) and the supports which have as its sole function to support it, including those which, in its Case, also support a crane.

For these purposes, the secondary structural elements, for example, cover straps, shall not be considered a constituent part of the main deck structure.

D. Lightweight cover.

Any cover whose own weight does not exceed 100 kg/m²shall be qualified as lightweight.

E. Permanent load.

To be interpreted as a permanent load, to the rating effects of a cover as light, the result of taking into account the set formed by the main structure of cover porches, plus the straps and materials coverage.

In the case of the existence of cranes, account must also be taken, in addition, for the computation of the permanent load, the weight of the rail beam itself, as well as the structure of the crane on which the hoist is moved.

1. Non-permitted locations of fire sectors with industrial activity.

The location of fire sectors with the industrial activities included in Article 2 is not permitted:

a) High intrinsic risk, in type A configurations, as shown in Annex I.

(b) Average intrinsic risk, in floor level, in type A configurations, as set out in Annex I.

NOTES TO TABLE 2.1

(1) If the fire sector is located at first low street level, the maximum allowable built surface is 400 m², which can be increased by application of the notes (2) and (3).

(2) If the accessible facade of the industrial establishment is greater than 50 percent of its perimeter, the maximum permissible constructed surfaces, as indicated in Table 2.1, can be multiplied by 1.25.

(3) Where automatic water sprinkler systems which are not required by this Regulation (Annex III) are installed, the maximum permissible constructed surfaces indicated in Table 2.1 may be multiplied by 2.

(Notes (2) and (3) can be applied simultaneously).

(4) In type C configurations, if the activity requires it, the fire sector can have any surface, provided the entire sector has an automatic fixed installation of extinction and the distance to the limits of plots capable of building on them is greater than 10 m.

(5) For industrial establishments of type B, of intrinsic risk under 1, the only activity of which is the storage of Class A materials and in which the construction materials used, including the coatings, are Class A as a whole, the maximum permitted area of the fire sector may be increased up to 10,000 m².

2.2. The distribution of combustible materials in fire areas in type D and type E configurations shall meet the following requirements:

1. Maximum maximum surface of each stack: 500 m².

2. ° Maximum volume of each stack: 3500 m³.

3. Maximum maximum height of each stack: 15 m.

4. ° Maximum length of each stack: 45 m if the corridor between piles is ≥ 2.5 m; 20 m if the corridor between piles is ≥ 1,5 m.

3. Materials.

The requirements for fire performance of construction products are defined by determining the class to be achieved, according to the UNE-EN 13501-1 standard for those materials for which there is a harmonised standard and already in The CE marking is effective.

The fire reaction conditions applicable to the building elements shall be justified:

a) By means of the class in each case, first, according to the new European classification.

b) By means of the class that is in second place in parentheses, according to the classification established by the standard UNE-23727.

Construction products whose classification according to standard UNE 23727:1990 is valid for these applications may continue to be used after the end of their coexistence period, until a new regulation of fire reaction for such applications based on their specific risk scenarios. In order to be eligible for this possibility, the products must prove their reaction to the fire in accordance with regulation 23727:1990 by means of a conformity assessment system equivalent to that of the CE marking which is applicable.

3.1 Coating products: Products used as coating or surface finish must be:

According to the different products, the CE marking must be mandatory, the test methods applicable in each case shall be those defined in the UNE-EN and UNE-EN ISO standards. The classification shall be in accordance with UNE-EN 13501-1.

3.5 Petreous, ceramic and metal construction products, as well as glass, mortar, concrete or sand, shall be considered as Class A1 (M0).

4. Fire stability of the supporting building elements.

The requirements for behaviour in relation to the fire of a constructive element are defined by the time in minutes, during which the element must maintain the mechanical stability (or carrying capacity) in the test (a) standard in accordance with the standard corresponding to those included in Commission Decision 2000 /367/EC of 3 May 2000 as amended by Commission Decision 2003 /629/EC.

Fire stability, which is required for building construction elements in the fire sectors of an industrial establishment, can be determined:

1. The adoption of the values set out in this Annex II, paragraph 4.1 or more favourable.

2. º By means of calculation, analytical or numerical, of recognized solvency or justified validity.

4.1 The fire stability of the structural elements with a bearing function and ladders that are route of evacuation shall not be less than the value indicated in Table 2.2.
