Österrike: brandsäkerhet

”Lag” är en bindande regel. ”Officiell vägledning” är inte lag, men inspektörer förväntar sig det. ”Chef Hygiene standard” är ett värde som appen kontrollerar mot där ingen regel anger ett nummer.

• LagFire extinguishers and fixed extinguishing systems are checked at least every second calendar year, and no more than 27 months apart, by a competent person. Keep the record for 3 years or use a sticker with the test date (AStV § 13).
• LagEmergency lighting, alarm devices, ventilation and air-conditioning systems and fire alarm systems are checked every year, no more than 15 months apart. Emergency lights and escape signs are checked by eye every month (AStV § 13).
• LagThe electrical installation is tested by an electrician at most every 5 years. The labour inspectorate can set 3 years for wet or hot areas. The RCD test button is pressed at least every 6 months unless the maker says otherwise (ESV 2012).
• LagGas checks are set by each federal state’s own gas law, with no national interval. Vienna and Styria set none; others range from 2 to 15 years. A permitted business plant is self-checked every 5 or 6 years (GewO § 82b).
• LagA fire safety book, fire safety rules and yearly fire drills are required only where the authority has ordered a fire safety officer (AStV §§ 43, 45).
