Questions · Fire detection

I have an industrial unit, which regulation applies to me?

RSCIEI, Royal Decree 2267/2004, and its thresholds do not go by square metres alone: they go by the configuration of the building and by the intrinsic risk level. The configuration is type A, B or C depending on whether the premises share structure with others, are attached to others or stand alone. The intrinsic risk —low, medium or high— comes out of a fire load calculation done with what is inside and with how it is stored.

With those two things you get the automatic detection thresholds in its annex III. In type A, 300 m² in production activities and 150 m² in storage, whatever the risk. In type B with medium risk, 2,000 and 1,000 m²; with high risk, 1,000 and 500. In type C with medium risk, 3,000 and 1,500 m²; with high risk, 2,000 and 800. Where the automatic detection threshold is not reached, what has to go in is manual call points, and the maximum distance to travel to reach one must not exceed 25 m.

The intrinsic risk calculation is not a licence formality: it is the figure everything else hangs off, including compartmentation and how often you have to have an inspection. It is done with the real warehouse inventory, and it changes the day the product being stored changes. Nobody warns you about that from outside.

A written answer is enough to decide whether it interests you. To know whether it works at your site you have to see it on a real scene, with the image as it is and, on top of it, what the system understands from it. That is on the IRIS Neural website, which is the group's product.
