NPB 110-03 PDF

Full title and description

NPB 110-03 — "Перечень зданий, сооружений, помещений и оборудования, подлежащих защите автоматическими установками пожаротушения и автоматической пожарной сигнализацией" (List of buildings, structures, premises and equipment to be protected by automatic fire-extinguishing installations and automatic fire alarm systems). The document establishes which types of buildings, spaces and equipment require protection by automatic extinguishing systems (AUPT) and automatic fire alarm systems (AUPS).

Abstract

NPB 110-03 sets out mandatory lists and threshold criteria (by type, area, height, fire‑hazard category and equipment type) that determine when an automatic sprinkler/automatic extinguishing installation or an automatic fire alarm system must be provided. The standard includes obligatory annexes/tables that enumerate buildings, structures, rooms and equipment subject to protection and is used as a regulatory reference in project design, installation and acceptance of AUPT/AUPS systems.

Scope

Applies to buildings, structures, premises and equipment located on the territory of the Russian Federation for which the provision of automatic extinguishing installations (AUPT) and/or automatic fire alarm systems (AUPS) is required. The document provides tabular lists and threshold rules (for example by fire‑hazard category, height, floor location, storage type and area) that designers, facility owners and regulators use to determine mandatory protection measures at the design and operation stages.

Key topics and requirements

• Enumerated lists (tabular annexes) of buildings, structures, rooms and equipment requiring AUPT and/or AUPS; classification by fire‑hazard categories and special cases (e.g., archives, warehouses, high‑racks, fuel storage, repair shops).
• Threshold criteria based on area, number of floors, height, and placement (basement/attic) that trigger mandatory installation of automatic systems.
• Distinction between requirements for automatic extinguishing systems (sprinkler/fixed installations) and automatic fire alarm systems; when one or both are required.
• Mandatory application in project design, construction and operation stages; references to related design rules and acceptance procedures for fire‑protection systems.

Typical use and users

Used by: fire‑safety engineers, building and facilities designers, project organisations, installation contractors for AUPT/AUPS, building owners and operators, municipal and federal fire‑safety regulators, and emergency services reviewing compliance. It is referenced during project specification, permitting, system selection/installation and acceptance testing.

Related standards

NPB 110-03 is part of the Russian NPB (Нормы пожарной безопасности) family and is commonly used alongside other national design and installation documents such as SP 5.13130.2009 (rules for design and installation of automatic fire alarm systems), NPB 58-97 and various GOST standards referenced in installation and testing procedures. Project teams should check applicable SNIP/SP and GOST documents and any later amendments when applying NPB 110-03.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: A national Russian fire‑safety normative document (NPB 110-03) that lists buildings, structures, rooms and equipment that must be protected by automatic fire‑extinguishing installations and automatic fire alarm systems; approved by Order No. 315 of EMERCOM dated 18 June 2003.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It provides mandatory enumerations and threshold criteria (by type, area, height, fire‑hazard category, equipment type) determining when AUPT and/or AUPS are required, and includes obligatory annexes/tables used in design and regulatory review.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Fire‑safety engineers and designers, installation contractors, building owners/operators, regulatory bodies and emergency services involved in design, installation, inspection and acceptance of automatic extinguishing and fire alarm systems.
