Performance-Based Provisions Code Structure

The performance-based provisions in the revised Fire Code are structured according to the following format:

(i) Root objectives

Root objectives spell out the intents of the Fire Code.

(ii) Sub-objectives

Sub-objectives define the conditions to fulfil the intents as spelt out in the root objectives.

Under the performance-based regulatory system, there can be 3 approaches to the design of fire safety works:

(i) Performance-based approach

(ii) Prescriptive (Deemed-to-satisfy) approach*

(iii) Hybrid of performance-based and prescriptive approach

* Prescriptive requirements of the Fire Code are known as 'deemed-to-satisfy' requirements in the performance-based regulatory system.
