What is DSTU ISO 23932:2018?

DSTU DSTU ISO 23932:2018 is an international standard developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) to assess the level of fire safety ofnew or existing built environments. This standard describes the general principles of design and requirements for fire safety equipment. They are necessary in the following cases:

  • at the fire safety design stage;
  • during the implementation of fire safety design plans;
  • for fire safety management.

This standard is not a detailed technical design guide. It is, rather, a list of key points that are important and necessary for fire safety engineers or supervisors (for those who supervise the work of fire safety engineers) at various stages and at the intersection of stages in the design process. Fire safety is assessed using an engineering approach based on the quantitative behavior of fire and people and on the basis of knowledge about the consequences of such behavior of fire and people and on the basis of knowledge about the consequences of such behavior for the safety of life, property and the environment.

Fire Safety Certification and Audit

ISO 23932 (DSTU ISO 23932:2018) is an international standard that regulates the basic requirements for fire safety and risk management. It helps organizations maintain an adequate level of protection for buildings, structures, personnel, and assets from fires. The use of ISO 23932 is important for enterprises that seek to minimize the risk of fires and their negative consequences.

One of the key aspects of certification is an independent fire safety audit. It allows verifying the compliance of the object with the requirements of the standard. The fire safety audit includes checking fire protection systems, evacuation plans, and other measures. Conducting an audit according to DSTU ISO 23932 helps to identify shortcomings in a timely manner and eliminate them before they can lead to serious consequences.

List of Required Documents

To conduct certification according to the ISO 23932 standard, the organization must prepare documents that confirm compliance with the requirements of the standard. Typically, this list includes:

  1. Technical documentation for the building or object.
  2. Evacuation plan in case of fire.
  3. Documents confirming the presence and proper functioning of fire protection systems.
  4. Instructions and regulations on fire safety.
  5. Acts on conducting evacuation and fire extinguishing training.
  6. Protocols of regular inspections of fire extinguishing systems.
  7. Reports on previous technical audits of this regulation.

Collecting and preparing these documents is an important step in the audit process. Without their proper execution, certification may be rejected or suspended.

Advantages of Having a Certificate

Obtaining ISO 23932 certification provides a number of advantages for organizations, including:

  • increased level of safety;
  • compliance with Ukrainian legislation;
  • reduced insurance costs;
  • increased trust of customers and partners.

In addition, certification provides access to international markets.

Validity of the Standard

The ISO 23932 certificate is valid, as a rule, for three years. After this period, it is necessary to conduct a fire safety audit again to confirm the relevance of all measures and compliance with the standard. This ensures that all processes and systems remain effective and meet new legislative requirements.

Procedure for Registration

The process of certification and conducting a fire safety audit according to ISO 23932 consists of several main stages:

  1. Preliminary analysis. Specialists conduct a preliminary inspection of the object to assess readiness for certification and audit. This stage includes an analysis of the available documentation and identification of possible inconsistencies.
  2. Preparation of documents. The enterprise prepares all necessary documents and plans that confirm compliance with the requirements of the standard.
  3. Conducting an audit. Specialists check the object on-site, analyze the operation of fire protection systems, evacuation exits, and other safety aspects.
  4. Audit report. After completing the inspection, a report is compiled, which indicates all identified inconsistencies and recommendations for their elimination.

If the audit was successful and all recommendations were implemented, the company receives a certificate of compliance with the ISO 23932 standard.
