You may want to start with reading NFPA - 101. This will probably lead you to further applicable codes. Good luck.

P911

Why wrong country? This is a good place to start as Duane Tilden says, many countries and standards refer to the NFPA.

The mission of the international nonprofit NFPA, established in 1896, is to reduce the worldwide burden of fire and other hazards on the quality of life by providing and advocating consensus codes and standards, research, training, and education.

The world's leading advocate of fire prevention and an authoritative source on public safety, NFPA develops, publishes, and disseminates more than 300 consensus codes and standards intended to minimize the possibility and effects of fire and other risks.

NFPA membership totals over 75,000 individuals around the world and more than 80 national trade and professional organizations.

And then the American gets bashed for assuming this was a American thing..

Did not know that it was international. Now I can get bashed for that. Bash away...

Thanks for the info

Hello mostafa,

Not sure if you are talking about a Military build or a 'Holiday Camp' build?

However, take any advice you glean from these sites as [b["ADVICE" only!

If you are in the Military you should have access to the relevant codes for safety, though from my experience, it is usually a local Architect who sorts these kinds of builds out. And or also contact the local Council or State Dept[, and Fire Deptp] [b[Bearing in mind local topography, drains, other dangerous flammables or explosives etc

.......................

Can you actually tell me where you are and are you the builder?

Try using NFPA 850, that has guidelines for building fire walls around power station transformers. The principles can be applied elsewhere too.
