Hungary: fire safety

“Law” is a binding rule. “Official guidance” is not law, but inspectors expect it. “Chef Hygiene default” is a value the app checks against where no rule gives a number.

• LawThe keeper checks each fire extinguisher at least every 3 months. A registered maintenance firm services it at the intervals in the OTSZ annex. Keep a fire-safety operating log (tűzvédelmi üzemeltetési napló) (OTSZ, Decree 54/2014 (BM) §§ 263–264).
• LawA hot kitchen’s ventilation and odour extraction are cleaned at the maker’s interval, otherwise at least once a year, with written proof (OTSZ § 196).
• LawThe electrical installation gets a fire-safety review at least every 6 years, or every 3 years if you store over 300 kg or 300 litres of highly flammable material (OTSZ § 277).
• LawThe residual-current switch (RCD) is function-tested every 3 months. Hand tools and portable transformers are checked every year (Decree 10/2016 (NGM) § 19).
