Project description

The study should control the effectiveness of alternative brandveiligheidsmaat- in existing and new forms of older facilities under-searching. On the basis of the results of the research will be formulated, an assessment framework as a support of the advice on possible deviations on the one hand and as a basis for an adjustment of the regulation on the other hand. The adaptation of the regulation is aimed at the limitations of the safety concept under the current regulations and the latest fire safety care concepts as much as possible to eliminate, without downgrading the safety of people in elderly facilities in case of fire.
