Fire Safe Europe (FSEU)

The European Commission has officially validated the final report of the research project on the European methodology for testing the fire performance of façades. This represents a major step toward harmonizing fire safety standards for façades across Europe. The next steps? CEN mandates for drafting testing and classification standards - coming soon at CEN/TC 127/WG 6.

📢 Today, we are attending the webinar "The Importance of Installation and Maintenance of Building Products with Fire Performances", organised by the European Commission in the context of the Fire Information Exchange Platform (FIEP). Both installation and maintenance play equally critical roles in ensuring fire safety: ➡️ Installation: Proper installation ensures that building products are set up correctly to meet their designed fire safety standards. Mistakes during installation can create vulnerabilities that compromise fire performance from day one. ➡️ Maintenance: Over time, different factors can reduce the effectiveness of fire safety systems. Regular maintenance ensures that these systems continue to function as intended, safeguarding lives and property. The session promises to dive deep into technical aspects and practical strategies for maintaining fire performance standards. From ensuring correct installation to setting up effective maintenance operations, this webinar is a must for anyone committed to improving fire safety practices in Europe!

🔥 Fire Safety Priorities for 2024-2029: A High-Level Discussion at the European Parliament During the European Fire Safety Week 2024, the European Parliament hosted a high-level political discussion on the fire safety priorities for 2024-2029, bringing together key policymakers, Members of the European Parliament, and representatives from multiple DGs of the European Commission. While fire safety is a national competence, its impact on and interaction with key EU policies demonstrate a clear need for EU-level coordination. 📌 Highlights of the discussion ✅ The need for a strategic European approach to improve coordination of fire safety policies. ✅ Addressing fire risks related to the energy transition and evolving construction methods. ✅ Supporting Member States with solutions that protect vulnerable groups It is time to adopt a European Fire Safety Strategy that safeguards lives, supports sustainability, and builds resilience across the EU.
