Romania: fire safety
Fire safety checks for your kitchen, and how often they are due.
Checked
“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.
- LawFire extinguishers: your fire safety person checks them every month and writes it in a register. CO2 extinguishers are weighed every 6 months, and an authorised firm verifies them every 12 months once the warranty ends (OMAI 135/2023).
- LawExtinguishers are recharged after use and at least every 3 years, and scrapped after 20 years (OMAI 135/2023).
- LawGas installations: a technical verification at most every 2 years, and a technical revision at most every 10 years. The revision is also needed after more than 6 months unused or any incident. An ANRE-authorised firm does both (ANRE Order 179/2015).
- LawElectrical installations are checked at start-up, periodically and after repairs, by ANRE-authorised electricians (Government Decision 1146/2006).
