Following the latest events that occurred in our country, Romanian authorities have brought changes in the law of fire safety approval / authorization.
For the categories of buildings and spaces which should be treated with special attention in terms of fire risk, the normative act is considering also smaller areas with specific functions, for example 100 sq. m for public spaces arranged in the basement, semi-basement or attic, 150 sq. m spaces for education, supervision, care or shelter children, pupils, students, senior citizens, persons with disabilities / homeless or 200 sq. m for spaces bound for trade, located in collective residential buildings.
Another change in normative act stipulates the exemption from approving on fire safety for certain buildings, installations or temporarily facilities, which are subject to direct authorization regarding fire safety, given that the stage of authorization in these situations can ensure the sufficient exercise of verification for fire safety compliance.
Adopting the new measures, the authorities have pursued the decrease of bureaucracy, lowering the administrative costs for certain economic operators, but also decrease the number of applications and implicitly the period for issuing the permit / authorization, without all these issues to reduce the level of security.
Due to the activity profile and the experience gained from various developed projects, Vitalis Consulting offers consulting and support in the process of obtaining the fire safety permit / authorization. According to the needs of each economic operator and the characteristics of buildings or facilities, Vitalis Consulting grant assistance in verification, preparation, expertise and submission of the necessary documentations until the competent authorities for issued the permit / authorization for fire safety.
Though the General Inspectorate for Emergency Situations (GIES) recorded a 45% increase in the number of applications for issuing permits / authorizations fire safety compared to the same period last year, it remains a considerable number of economic operators who do not yet obtained their permits / authorization.
