Paragraph 2 Safety in case of fire

The construction works must be designed and built in such a way that in the event of an outbreak of fire:

• the load-bearing capacity of the construction can be assumed for a specific period of time,

• the generation and spread of fire and smoke within the works are limited,

• the spread of fire to neighbouring construction works is limited,

• occupants can leave the works or be rescued by other means,

• the safety of rescue teams is taken into consideration.
