馃敟 Are you planning to expand or modify an industrial facility? There are fire safety regulations you need to take into account.
Royal Decree 164/2025, which approved the new Fire Safety Regulations for Industrial Facilities (RSCIEI), has been in effect since May 10, 2025.
This update is particularly relevant for those planning new facilities, expansions, or certain modifications to existing facilities.
What aspects should be analyzed in each project?
鈻笍 Characterization of the facility: activity, layout, sectors, and intrinsic risk level.
鈻笍 Fire protection: construction requirements and protection systems mandated based on the facility鈥檚 characteristics.
鈻笍 Evacuation and accessibility: escape routes, exits, and conditions for emergency services to respond.
鈻笍 Existing facilities: verify the scope of the work and the applicable transitional provisions.
Not all facilities or renovations are subject to the same requirements.
Fire safety is not a decision that should be left until the end of the project.
In industrial construction, anticipating these requirements allows for the integration of necessary solutions from the earliest planning stages.
