 Preface 

«When you blame others, you give 
up your power to change» 
As  the  visions  of  UAE  President,  His  Highness  Khalifa  Bin  Zayed  Bin  Sultan  Al 
Nahyan  and  UAE  Vice  President,  Prime  Minister  of  UAE  and  Ruler  of  Dubai, 
His  Highness  Sheik  Mohammad  Bin  Rashid  Al  Maktoum,  thrust  boundaries  of 
excellence in every aspect of life in UAE, the government organizations have no 
choice but to reinvent their potential and keep pace to achieve the highest level 
of happiness index of people living in the UAE. 

Confidence  of  people  in  their  buildings’  Fire  and  Life  Safety  is  an  important 
component  of  such  a  happiness  index. 

UAE’s  swift  ascension  to  the  world’s  center  stage  is  imminent  with  media’s 
untiring  attention  on  the  country.  Freedom  of  architectural  expression  in  the 
country attracts mindboggling building design implementation and at the same 
time  pose  challenges  in  terms  of  Fire  and  Life  Safety  Code  compliances. 

Civil  Defence  embraced  these  challenges  and  published  its  own  first  edition  of   
UAE Fire and Life Safety Code of Practice in the year 2011. Five years have rolled by,   
witnessing  completion  of  successful  landmark  projects,  implementation  of  both   
prescriptive and performance based code compliance solutions, satisfactory online   
project review procedures and revision of UAE Fire and Life Safety Code of Practice. 

Resolving technical discrepancies or code conflicts and additions of new chapters 
in the 2011 edition was of easier task compared to witnessing heart wrenching 
‘balcony deaths’, private villa fire deaths and fa  ade fires. We might be moving 

closer year by year to achieving a confident and matured national Fire and Life 
Safety code of practice, but the continued irresponsibility and unaccountability 
of  stakeholders  including  owners,  consultants,  contractors,  manufacturers, 
suppliers,  material  test  laboratories,  conformity  certification  bodies  and  even 
the careless residents is deeply disturbing 

Without the collective involvement and realization of the individual responsibilities,   
there  cannot  be  perfection  in  any  building’s  Fire  and  Life  Safety.  Contracts  are   
‘handed  out’,  not  ‘responsibilities’.  
In presenting UAE Fire and Life Safety Code of Practice, 2016 Edition, Civil Defence urges   
all stakeholders to rise above the construction industry’s complicated and deep rooted  
‘responsibility outsourcing’ culture to the promising heights of ‘accountability’. 

Let us all be responsible for Fire and Life Safety code compliant UAE and contribute 
to country’s happiness index. 

Civil  Defence,  once  again,  is  thankful  to  all  those  who  contributed  directly  or 
indirectly  in  reshaping  the  UAE  Fire  and  Life  Safety  Code  of  Practice.

 Intention  

It is the policy of Civil Defence to impose measures to minimize the risk of Fire 
and to ensure the Safety of life and property. 

The  purpose  of  this  code  is  to  prescribe  minimum  guidelines  for  determining 
design,  construction,  modification  &  installation  of  buildings,  structures, 
occupancies,  fire  detection  systems,  fire  protection  systems,  fire  prevention 
systems  and  life  safety  systems  to  achieve  safe  societies. 

The property owners, developers, designers, consultants, house of expertise, d  cor 
companies, contracting companies, event organizing companies, manufacturers, 
suppliers,  installation  companies,  maintenance  companies,  material  testing 
laboratories, conformity certification bodies are obliged to follow the minimum 
requirements of these codes and regulations. 

This code also mandates that materials, equipment and accessories in the UAE’s 
Fire and Life Safety systems, installation and building construction shall be listed, 
approved and registered by the Civil Defence. 

Consultants,  contractors,  maintenance  companies,  d  cor  companies,  house  of 

expertise,  manufacturers,  suppliers,  agents,  material  testing  laboratories  and 
conformity certification bodies shall be registered and licensed by Civil Defence. 

Page 10 of 1301
 Code Application 

The UAE Fire and Life Safety Code of Practice, henceforth referred as ‘Civil Defence 
Fire Code’ recommends the Civil Defence’ minimum requirements for building’s 
life safety and fire safety design and installation. 

Where, the stakeholders and parties have to go through multiple organizations 
and  departments  at  individual  Emirates  (Abu  Dhabi,  Dubai,  Sharjah,  Ajman, 
Ras Al Khaimah, Umm Al Quwain, Fujairah) for the approval or where in-house 
codes  and  regulations  govern  the  Life  safety  and  Fire  safety  requirements  or 
whenever  the  conflicts  arise  between  requirements  of  different  departments, 
the  minimum  requirements  of  UAE  Fire  and  Life  Safety  Code  of  Practice  shall 
surpass  all  other  requirements  unless  other  requirements  are  higher  than  the 
latest edition of UAE Fire and Life Safety Code of Practice. 

The  provisions  of  this  code  apply  to  Fire  Safety,  Life  Safety  and  Civil  Defence 
Road and Access of all occupancies, buildings and structures including multiple, 
separated or mixed Occupancies located in High Depth, Low Depth Underground 
buildings, Low-rise, Midrise, High-rise and Super high-rise buildings. 

In multiple or mixed occupancies, relevant Civil Defence code requirements for different  
occupancies are applicable along with the provisions of predominant occupancy. 

UAE  Fire  and  Life  Safety  Code  of  Practice  is  a  living  document,  updated  and 
amended  regularly.  Such  amendments  shall  be  available  on  Civil  Defence 
website  as  annexures  or  additional  chapters.  It  is  architects,  consultants  and 
designers responsibility to confirm with Civil Defence for updated information 
to  be  complaint  with  the  latest  code  requirements.

 Commitment to Best Practice  

      Approved Consultants, Contractors, House of Expertise, Test 
laboratories and conformity certification bodies shall strive for best 
practice in relation to: 

•   Compliance with latest and relevant requirements and standards. 
•   Compliance with latest and relevant acts and regulations. 
•  High level of quality of work. 
•  Environmental management and Sustainability. 
•  Occupational health and safety. 

Page 16 of 1301
 Environmental Management and Sustainability  

So  far,  as  we  know  it,  there  is  only  one  habitable  planet,  Earth  and  we  are 
the  inhabitants  at  present.  It  is  our  duty  to  respect,  cherish  and  protect  its 
environment, resources and beauty so that the future generations do not regret 
inheriting  this  planet  from  us. 

Civil Defence urges every individual, consultants, contractors and organizations 
to  commit  themselves  to  the  best  possible  practices  in  sustaining  earth’s 
habitable environment through environmental management and sustainability 
when  it  comes  to  fire  protection. 

Before 1987, Halon was the highly effective Fire extinguishing agent throughout 
the industry. However, due to its ‘Ozone Depleting’ character, after the Montreal 
Protocol,  Halon  (HCFCs)  was  agreed  to  be  phased  out  of  the  general  industry 
usage except for certain specialized applications in marine and aviation industry. 
      As a replacement for Halon, fire protection industry has new technologies, new 
extinguishing agents and systems. Today, after  Kyoto Protocol, there are raising 
concerns of using some of those replacement extinguishing agents such as HFCs 
and PFCs because of their ‘Global Warming’ characters. 

However,  Civil  Defence  takes  the  environmental  concerns  a  step  further  to 
caution  the  industry  regarding  available  new  technologies  and  extinguishing 
agents, not only regarding ‘Ozone Depletion’ and ‘Global Warming’ but also with 
other  factors  such  as  ‘Adverse  Health  Effects’  and  ‘Water  Conservation’.  Civil 
Defence would adhere to any future protocols, research results and justifications, 
which  prohibit  the  usage  of  any  technology  and  extinguishing  agents,  which 
have  adverse  effects  on  environment,  human  and  living  creature  health  and 
sustainability  of  this  planet. 

Hence, it is owner’s, consultant’s, contractor’s, manufacturer’s and supplier’s responsibility 
to update themselves with latest international and local stand on new technologies and 
extinguishing agents and their impact on health and environmental concerns. 

Page 17 of 1301
 Occupational Health and Safety  

Civil Defence aims at the promotion and maintenance of the highest degree of 
      physical, mental and social well-being of workers and employees. Safe workplaces 
provide the consistency and reliability needed to build a happy community and 
grow a business. Workplaces with active safety and health leadership have fewer 
injuries and have more satisfied and productive employees. Safe workplaces not 
only save life, they promote successful and vibrant lives. 

The  protection  of  workers  in  their  workplace  from  various  health  risks 
involves  implementation  of  an  occupational  environment  adapted  to  worker’s 
physiological  and  psychological  capabilities  along  with  empowering  workers 
with  good  health  and  safety  practices. 

Civil  Defence,  thus  calls  for  all  organizations,  consultants,  contractors  and 
individuals to recognize their role in establishing awareness of the environment, 
correct practices, consequence of actions and consideration for others to make 
‘Occupational Health and Safety’ a way of life in UAE.

was during 1886 in Germany and 1890 in New York. The
American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) adopt-
ed and improvised these test standards during 1907.

The NFPA adopted a much advanced version of the test

method in 1918.

Points to Ponder
There are two major reasons for the spread of fire in a fully fire resistive con-
struction.

1. Fire spread through HVAC ducts.

2. Leap frog effect, where fire spreads out exterior from the window of a floor
and back into window of the next upper level.

Points to Ponder
In congested localities, where extension or modifications are done to existing
buildings and developments, the Fire Accessway might be challenging. In such
scenarios, Civil Defence might require additional Fire Fighting Systems, equip-
ment and/or Transport buggies to compensate for the ill-defined Fire Accessways.

Points to Ponder
Fire Detection and Alarm Systems are many a times despised and ignored be-
cause of frequent experience of false alarms, which can be nuisance and waste
of time when unwanted evacuations take place.

Reasons for false alarms are

 Incorrect selection of type of detector for particular area

 Incorrect installation of the system
 Poor maintenance or absence of maintenance

Points to Ponder
During fire emergencies, the Civil Defence Personnel refill the Fire water tank from the fire
tanker as one of their first strategy to ensure adequate water is available to the fire sys-
tems. Without an adequate and efficient drainage arrangement around the fire water tank,
the area (Especially Basements) could be flooded with an excess of water that could com-
promise the safety of pump room and of the controllers and hamper the fire fighting oper-
ations.

Points to Ponder
The application of solid foam streams, turbulently into the flammable liquid could
cause ignition of the ensuing fire, due to the static discharges resulting from
splashes and turbulence.

Any application of foam to an unignited flammable liquid should be as gentle as

possible through an appropriately selected, designed and executed method of
foam systems.

Points to Ponder
In some of the full scale fires, a water tank meant for 60 minutes of operation du-

spraying) of several sprinklers, quickly exceeding the design area of the sprinkler
operation.

Points to Ponder
Safest and most economic LPG Tank installation is underground type installation.
If properly coated and with Cathodic protection, LPG Tanks installed underground
do not need fire protection systems and required separation distances from struc-
tures and public ways are minimum.

Points to Ponder
Building trend in UAE is such that whole plot area is utilized for building or base-
ment space, making it difficult for designers to allocate fully compliant space for
LPG Tank installations. Inevitably, LPG tanks end up on highrise building roofs
and on podiums which is not allowed by many codes and practices internationally.

 Figure 13.1: Fire Protection Systems for Under Construction Buildings

Points to Ponder
Because of the huge occupant load of workers on construction sites, under construction
exit stairs and accumulation of large quantity of construction materials in exit ways, the
emergency evacuation by workers is not always easy.

Alternative methods of escaping from higher floors such as escape chutes, escape lad-
ders and escape slides should be considered and provided as per manufacturer’s guide-
lines and safety precautions along with training workers of their usage.

Points to Ponder
The first ever World Report on disability, produced jointly by WHO and the World
Bank, suggests that more than a billion people in the world today experience disa-
bility.
That is more than one sixth of world population.
Many countries have rapidly growing number of aged people. With advanced med-
ical science this aged group will survive longer with some kind of disability.
In addition, newly undergone surgery and treatment, survive grave injuries and
return with some kind of disability to inaccessible dwelling and work places.

Did You Know?

A fire occurred in September 1, 2010 and spread to a neighbouring building in
Mount Vernon, New York. The fire investigator presented Computer Models to jus-
tify that fire started from an electric fan.

The New York court judge rejected the computer modeling, stating that defendant
had not presented sufficient evidence that computer fire modeling was generally
accepted as reliable in the fire investigation community.
