SBF Regulations

Fire alarms
An automatic fire alarm installation task is to detect incipient fire (with regard to safeguards to avoid unnecessary alarm) at the earliest to operate rescue and extinguishing measures can be taken.

The requirements for carrying out the fire alarm facilities are divided into more parts, which are fixed and published by the Swedish Fire Protection Association under the following names:

-- SBF 110 Rules for automatic fire alarm installation
-- SBF 1003 Standard of inspection firm fire protection device
-- SBF 1007 Standard of competent engineer fire alarm
-- SBF 1008 Standard of the construction firm fire
-- SBF 1010 Standard of key equipment
-- SBF 1011 Standard of detectors
-- SBF 1021 Instructions for orientation and service plans for fire alarms

Care and maintenance
The framework SBF 110, there shall be at each of the key equipment for fire alarms to be a control file with reprints of the acquis chapters 6 and 7. These chapters may be freely used for this purpose in the same state.

Water sprinkler
An automatic water sprinkler system is an important system that detects and blank the nascent fires or keep them under control so that action can be taken off or so that a safe evacuation can take place. A properly carried out the water sprinkler system helps to save lives as well as to reduce firedamagecosts.
Regulatory framework for water sprinkler systems are paid by the insurance industry in Sweden since the 1920s and since 2001, these have been released by the Swedish Fire Protection Association (SBF). In 2003, published CEN a European standard for water sprinkler system that largely had the same extent as the Swedish regulatory framework. SBF has as a result of this has produced a new edition of its regulatory SBF 120, which is adapted to the standard SS-EN 12845 and refers basically to the standard should be followed.

Gas extinguish system
Swedish Fire Protection Association publishes regulations on the various fire extinguishing. The regulatory identifying characteristics which are considered to be relevant to the function and reliability. The purpose of the regulatory environment is to set standards of quality and safety standards to be applied generally to the parties concerned. The application is voluntary.

The regulatory has previously issued by the insurance industry, the so-called RUS rules. Through an agreement between the Swedish Fire Protection Association and the Swedish Insurance has ownership of these regulations fr.om 2001-01-01 changed to the Swedish Fire Protection Association. This has not meant any change to the technical requirements.

Gas fire-fighting equipment put out the fire by reducing the oxygen content below the level necessary to maintain combustion. After extinguish it may be necessary to maintain a extinguish concentration to prevent re-ignition.

Gas extinguishing agents can be used to extinguish the many topics that can not be extinguished with water. Gas extinguishing systems can therefore complement a water sprinkler system to achieve a total protection.

The requirements for carrying out the carbon dioxide extinguishing installations are divided into several parts, which are determined and published by the Swedish Fire Protection Associationn by the following names:
-- SBF 115 Rules for carbon dioxide extinguishing installations
-- SBF 1019 Standard of the construction firm of carbon dioxide
-- SBF 1001 Standard of competent engineer gas
-- SBF 1003 Standard of inspection firm fire extinguishing

Requirements for inert gas can be found under the following names:

-- SBF 500 Rules for inert gas system
-- SBF 1002 Standard of construction firm inertgas
-- SBF 1001 Standard of competent engineer gas
-- SBF 1003 Standard of inspection firm fire extinguishing
