A Fire Safety Report is a document containing detailed information for compliance of Fire-safety for a building (NZ Building Code C1 – C6). Protection from fire NZBC clauses C1 – C6 provide the code’s performance requirements for protection from Fire. There are three main objectives for fire-safety design:
LIFE SAFETY

FIREFIGHTING OPERATIONS

Clauses C2 – C6
