The issuance of the (active) fire protection certificate concerns all the main and secondary activities of the business - installation to meet their operational needs, such as the use of liquid or gaseous fuels, such as LPG, gas installations, etc. in areas of main use (public gathering, temporary accommodation, manufacturing activity, etc.). The (active) fire protection certificate does not legalize the use of the building - space from a planning point of view, does not exempt the interested party from the obligation to grant permits or approvals provided for by other provisions, nor is it a document of the legality of the installation, which is checked by the competent licensing or supervisory authority. It certifies, after submission of the required documents provided for in Commission Regulation No. 13/2021 Fire Protection Decree (5519 B), that the measures and means of the approved (active) fire protection study have been taken and are functioning well, which is in accordance with the specifications specified, has been drawn up in accordance with the provisions of the current institutional framework by a competent engineer according to law and does not exclude the risk of fire and the resulting risks in the area for which the certificate is issued.
