Italia: brannsikkerhet

«Lov» er en bindende regel. «Offisiell veiledning» er ikke lov, men inspektører forventer det. «Chef Hygiene standard» er en verdi appen sjekker mot der ingen regel oppgir et tall.

• LovFire extinguisher checks and maintenance follow the technical standards and the maker’s instructions, and every check is recorded (decree DM 1 September 2021). The technician’s periodic check is every 6 months under standard UNI 9994-1; this is usual practice.
• LovThe earthing system and any lightning protection are checked every 5 years, or every 2 years in places at higher fire risk. The ASL, ARPA or an authorised body does it (DPR 462/2001, art. 4).
• LovGas boilers for heating or hot water get an efficiency check every 4 years (10–100 kW) or every 2 years (100 kW or more) (DPR 74/2013). No national law sets an interval for gas cooking appliances; a qualified installer fits them and maintenance follows the maker’s instructions.
• LovBars and restaurants do not need a fire prevention certificate. Attached activities do, for example a heat plant over 116 kW (DPR 151/2011).
• LovEvery employer does a fire risk assessment. An emergency plan is needed with 10 or more workers, or with more than 50 people present at once.
