Energy-related buildings and structures are designed to meet safety requirements. The greatest danger is a radiation. In Russia there is an advanced system of regulatory documents, which contain thousands of requirements for radiation and fire safety, and layout solutions. During design and construction it is necessary to use the organizational system of checking and compliance of various requirements to the object. An important part of the system is the subsequent processing of requirements at the stages of design and project implementation. The process of processing the requirements consists of research, analysis, formulation and approval of the requirements, followed by tracking their performance in the project, at the construction site and during operation. In the development of basic and detailed documentation, in the construction the list of requirements is used for setting the tasks of the customer, the decision of their designer, the implementation of decisions by builders and installers.

The construction of high-rise buildings has revealed new problems related to fire safety. The peculiarity of the architecture, which is covered in high-rise, in fires creates a danger for a large number of people there, reduces the possibility of their evacuation and rescue. The multifunctionality of such buildings, taking into account the originality of the external and internal views, leads to the difficulty of choosing a constructive system, a large number of utilities and technical systems. To address the issues related to safe operation, stay and evacuation of people is the development of a fire protection system for high-rise buildings, based on the development of: • measures to ensure the durability of buildings or parts thereof againstprogressive collapse due to * ensuring the fire resistance of structures and buildings; • measures to limit the spread of fire in high-rise buildings through theinstallation of fire barriers inside the building and the device of fire breaks between buildings; • measures for ensuring timely and unimpeded evacuation of people andtheir rescue at emergency in high-rise buildings; • systems of active protection of buildings from fire, namely: fire alarm andfire fighting, strong points of fire extinguishing.

According to fire statistics analysis of the nation's fire department between 2015–2019, the most common cause of fire was electrical fire. As reported, 47,135 fires were caused by electricity, 22,852 were caused by mechanical causes, and 871 were caused by gas leakages. In this study, the fire adaptability of microcapsulated fire extinguishing agents was tested against small space electrical fires, such as electrical distribution boards. The tests showed that the fire extinguishing agent inside the capsule was released after initial fire contact and the fire of n-heptane was extinguished within 4.48 seconds (on average). Therefore, the KFI small space B-level fire extinguishing test by the Korea Institute of Fire and Industry met the criteria that the fire was extinguished and did not reoccur within 90 s after the end of the preliminary combustion. In addition, this fire extinguisher (agent) dramatically improved the volume of existing cylinder-type fire extinguishers for small spaces. However, there are no national fire safety codes (NFSCs) for this agent. Therefore, it is necessary to enact fire safety standards for this agent for smooth-field applications.

Introduction. The text of draft amendments to Technical Regulation “General requirements to fire safety” was published on January 16, 2020. Draft amendments were developed with in the framework of the“regulatory guillotine”approach. The mission of the proposed amendments was to eliminate excessive and duplicative fire safety requirements, inter alia, requirements applicable to fire safety and fire extinguishing devices that had been established by Technical Regulation of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU)“Оn Requirements for fire safety and extinguishing devices” (TR EEU 043/2017). The purpose of this article is to substantiate the in expediency of, or, on the contrary, the need to make the proposed amendments to Federal Law No. 123-FZ of July 22, 2008 “Technical Regulation of Fire Safety Requirements”. The body (analytical part) of the work. The proposed amendments to the regulatory legal act titled “Technical Regulations on Fire Safety Requirements” were drafted within the framework of the “regulatory guillotine” approach. In the course of the comparative analysis of effective fire safety requirements and proposed amendments the co-authors came up with recommendations for their improvement. The co-authors of the article present arguments to substantiate the inexpediency of some particular amendments, but at the same time, they support the need to make other amendments to Federal Law No 123-FZ. The co-authors comment on the proposed draft document that has twenty-eight amendments.Conclusions. Fire safety regulations must represent a single consolidated document, rather than several “fragments” available in the Technical Regulations of the Eurasian Union, Technical Regulations of All-Russian Significance and Technical Regulations of Safety of Buildings and Structures.

Purpose: The aim of the article is to review the possibility of classifying waste as non-combustible and combustible on the basis of the applicable Polish legal acts and to discuss the problems related to this area. Introduction: In the last decade, there has been a marked increase in the number of fires in landfills in Poland. Therefore, a legislative initiative has been undertaken to tighten and complete the provisions of the law on fire protection of facilities and places where waste is collected and stored. Methodology: The basic act regulating the issues of waste storage in Poland is the Act of 14 December 2012 on waste materials. The Act divides waste into two categories: non-combustible and combustible. In reference to the act, a Regulation of the Minister of the Interior and Administration of 19 February 2020 on fire protection requirements which need to be met by construction structures or their parts and other places for collecting, storing or processing waste, in which stringent fire safety requirements were defined for fire safety of facilities where combustible waste is stored. Results: During the review and analysis of the legal acts, it was discovered that after the division into combustible and non-combustible waste, the classification rules for these two categories were not strictly defined. As a consequence, there was a problem of interpretation and, thus, discretion in classifying waste. Therefore, there was a need to review the knowledge on the possibility of classifying waste. Conclusions: The review of regulations and the state of knowledge on the principles of considering materials and products as non-combustible or com- bustible presented in the article allows to systematize the knowledge and indicates selected paths of conduct. As waste is not homogeneous materials, the Act leaves the freedom to carry out opinions on whether or not waste is considered combustible. Such an assessment is not simple, hence the need to indicate what are the possible correct ways of proceeding in this action.

A systematic survey of compliance of the architectural and construction part of the project with fire safety requirements for basic indicators that ensure fire resistance and fire safety of the building was carried out. Engineering and technical solutions to ensure fire safety of the building and protection of people by deterministic factors have been installed. Structural and planning solutions to prevent the spread of fire in the building of the object were diagnosed. Technical solutions are formulated: for evacuation routes and exits, for fire protection and communication systems of the building, for ensuring measures that ensure the successful work of firefighters to extinguish a fire.
