Malte : sécurité incendie

La « loi » désigne une règle contraignante. Les « recommandations officielles » ne constituent pas une loi, mais les inspecteurs s’y attendent. « Chef Hygiene valeur par défaut » est une valeur de référence utilisée par l’application lorsqu’aucune règle ne spécifie de valeur numérique.

• LoiFire 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).
• LoiFire 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.
• LoiMTA 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.
• LoiThe 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).
• LoiMalta 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.
