Fire Fighting Equipment Installation Guidelines for IT Companies

We have 3000 square feet of area on each floor for the IT company, which includes one reception area, two conference rooms, one small pantry, and one server room. We are planning to install fire fighting instruments on the walls. Can you please provide guidance on any specified rules or guidelines for this installation? For example, how many cylinders should we install, what capacity they should be, and where they should be placed (e.g., server room or reception area).

I am inquiring about any standards that may be defined for the IT industry.

Thank you in advance to all who will share their views on this matter.

Regards

Fire Safety Regulations for All Industries

Fire safety laws are consistent across all industries. Officials use the NBC code to determine the requirements for firefighting equipment. For better guidance, you can contact the officials for an inspection.

Fire Safety Equipment Requirements

If your building exceeds 15 meters in height or has a basement and a workstation area exceeding 200 sqm, you should install fire sprinklers on each floor. Additionally, fire extinguishers should be placed on each floor, and a fire hydrant should be present. The adequacy of these installations can be defined by the officials themselves.

Types of Fire Fighting Equipment

Firefighting equipment such as fire extinguishers, fire hydrants, ample water supply, and storage of water underground or overhead should be provided. Additionally, sprinklers should be added and not used as a substitute.

Thank you.
