Scope

Applies to the design and reconstruction of buildings, premises and facilities of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs at the district level and certain related specialized units and temporary detention facilities (including temporary holding cells, special receivers for administrative arrestees, centres for temporary detention of foreign nationals, juvenile detention centres and selected special-purpose detachments). The standard sets mandatory project requirements for new construction and major reconstruction works within its scope, with specified exclusions for large regional/head offices and some high-staff transport policing units.

Key topics and requirements

• Functional zoning and room-by-room layout for police facilities (reception, public access, administrative zones, secure zones, custody/isolation areas).
• Requirements for temporary detention cells, special receivers and centres for administrative arrestees (including security, supervision and separation of categories of detainees).
• Minimum dimensional and structural parameters — for example, recommended minimum above-ground floor height of newly built buildings not less than 3.3 m (floor-to-floor); typical building height limited to no more than nine storeys for the facilities covered.
• Building class and responsibility: constructive solutions must meet a minimum class of responsibility (for example not lower than KS‑2 per applicable structural standards where specified).
• Security engineering: access control, CCTV provisions, controlled circulation, secure transfer routes, and physical separation between public and secure areas.
• Fire safety, mechanical and electrical systems sizing to match specific operational demands of police facilities, including ventilation and emergency evacuation arrangements.
• Accessibility, ergonomic and human-factor requirements for staff and visitors, plus provisions for minors and vulnerable persons in temporary holding facilities.

Typical use and users

Primary users are building designers (architects and structural, mechanical and electrical engineers), government project offices and procuring authorities responsible for police facilities, construction contractors, facility managers of law-enforcement buildings, and regulatory reviewers. The standard is used to prepare design briefs, schematic and working design documentation, and for checks during technical review and approval of police-related construction and reconstruction projects.

Related standards

Referenced and related documents include other SP (Svod Pravil) construction rules and national standards governing structural responsibility classes (for example GOST/GOSTR references such as requirements on class KS and GOST 27751 as cited in normative commentary), fire safety SP documents and building services SPs used jointly in design. The document is maintained within the SP series administered by the Ministry of Construction.
