The law in Haryana
The Haryana Fire and Emergency Services Act, 2022 governs fire prevention and safety in buildings and premises. Whether a building needs fire approvals depends on its use, height and size.
Stages
- Design-stage approval for buildings that need it, on drawings by a fire consultant/architect.
- Installation of systems as approved.
- Inspection and certificate before occupation.
- Periodic renewal and maintenance records.
For tenants
Ask for the building's current fire certificate and confirm your fit-out does not change the basis on which it was issued.
Who decides
The fire authority decides; fire consultants and architects prepare submissions; installers certify their work.
