Amendments to the Federal Fire Safety Supervision Regulations
Starting from September 5, 2025, new regulations will come into effect regarding the procedures for interaction between supervisory authorities and the assignment of risk categories to certain capital construction projects.
If, during a preventive inspection, discrepancies are identified between the design and technical documentation and the requirements of the Fire Safety Technical Regulations, the authorized bodies will be required to report the violations within three working days to the Prosecutor’s Office, the regional executive authorities, and Rostekhnadzor for further response.
Capital construction facilities intended for educational activities, children’s recreation and wellness, or the provision of residential medical care will automatically be assigned a high-risk category upon commissioning. This risk level can only be revised after a mandatory preventive inspection is conducted.
Additionally, changes have been made to the “good faith” criterion weight: a positive conclusion based on the results of an independent fire risk assessment will now carry a value of “-15” instead of the previous “-10”. This update applies to both public buildings and industrial facilities.
Further updates to the regulatory framework include:
- A separate formula for calculating the individualization index for facilities with different classes of functional fire hazard and various OKVED codes;
- Clarified grounds for adjusting the schedule of ongoing state supervision activities.
