Italien: 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 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.
• LagThe 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).
• LagGas 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.
• LagBars and restaurants do not need a fire prevention certificate. Attached activities do, for example a heat plant over 116 kW (DPR 151/2011).
• LagEvery 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.
