Abstract

Fire safety in a building depends on several factors, including its use and occupancy, which fire protection systems are present in the building and the state of maintenance of these systems. Considering the fact that Brazil has 27 federal states and each of them has its own fire safety legislation, it is common for there to be divergences that result in different protection requirements depending on the state where the building is located. This study analyzes Brazilian state fire safety legislation with regard to the sizing of fire protection systems for buildings, considering the parameters used for such sizing. It then identifies the differences in classification in terms of the use and occupation of buildings in the 27 federal states; and presents a proposal for a standardized classification for the whole country, taking into account the convergences that already exist in state legislation. The main objective is to suggest a discussion starter for the process of standardizing fire safety parameters in Brazil.

巴西的消防安全法规:建筑物占用分类分析
建筑物的消防安全取决于几个因素,包括建筑物的使用和占用,建筑物中存在哪些消防系统以及这些系统的维护状态。考虑到巴西有27个联邦州,每个州都有自己的消防安全立法,因此由于建筑物所在州的不同,导致不同的保护要求是很常见的。本研究分析了巴西国家消防安全立法方面的消防系统的规模为建筑物,考虑参数用于这种规模。然后,它确定了27个联邦州在建筑物使用和占用方面的分类差异;并提出了一项全国标准化分类的建议,考虑到各州立法中已经存在的趋同。主要目的是为巴西消防安全参数标准化进程提出一个讨论起点。
