Μάλτα: πυρασφάλεια

Ο όρος «Νόμος» είναι ένας δεσμευτικός κανόνας. Η «Επίσημη οδηγία» δεν είναι νόμος, αλλά οι επιθεωρητές την αναμένουν. Η τιμή «Chef Hygiene προεπιλογή» είναι μια τιμή που ελέγχει η εφαρμογή σε περίπτωση που κανένας κανόνας δεν δίνει αριθμό.

• ΝόμοςFire drills must be held at least every 6 months and recorded. A fire safety expert recognised by the Civil Protection Department (CPD) may set a longer interval in writing, never over 12 months (S.L. 646.08, reg. 9).
• ΝόμοςFire equipment must be under a suitable system of maintenance to the CPD’s satisfaction, with records (S.L. 646.08). The law gives no interval. Chef Hygiene suggests a yearly service.
• ΝόμοςMTA standards for restaurants: service date shown on each extinguisher, a maintenance certificate from a professional, an automatic fire alarm, emergency lighting, and an evacuation exercise at least yearly. The extraction hood must be properly maintained, with no interval set.
• ΝόμοςThe electrical installation and its earthing must be inspected and tested periodically by a licensed electrician, at the interval the electrician recommends (S.L. 545.24, reg. 16).
• ΝόμοςMalta has no natural gas network, only LPG cylinders. An LPG store over 150 kg or with 6 or more linked cylinders needs authorisation from the regulator REWS, valid for 10 years (S.L. 545.20). Chef Hygiene suggests a yearly check by an approved LPG installer.
