INTERNAL GUIDELINES* * * * * * * * * * FIRE PROTECTION MANUALPREFACE The First Edition of this Manual was issued by the Calcutta Fire Insurance Assoc iation in 1906 and was brought up-to-date and re-issued in 1930. The third, four th and fifth Editions were published jointly by the InsuranceAssociations of Ind ia and Pakistan in 1948, 1950 and 1953 respectively to provide for the needs of the whole of theareas controlled by these Associations. The subsequent sixth, se venth and eighth Editions were published by theFire Sectional Committees of Calc utta, Bombay, Delhi and Madras Regional Councils of the InsuranceAssociations of India. In the ninth Edition published in 1982, amendments and additions were ef fected to bring the provisions in line with current thinking on fire protection techniques and to encourage installation of fixed fireextinguishing appliances/a larm systems in relatively low hazard risks on the one hand and tighten requirem ents for design of systems suitable for high hazard risks such as Petroleum Refi neries, Petrochemical and Fertiliser Plantson the other hand, which, world-wide

experience has indicated, need copious quantities of water and other extinguishi ng media. In this tenth Edition an effort has been made to further update and st reamline the regulations.The Manual should prove of value to factory owners and their technical personnel when dealing with mattersrelating to fire extinguishin g appliances and also constitute a handy book of reference to Insurance official s.The maintenance of fire extinguishing appliances in an efficient state and fam iliarisation with all details of operations is essential if the maximum benefit is to be derived in the emergency of an outbreak of a fire.The Manual incorporat es long experience of fire protection engineering both in India and elsewhere in the world.Compliance of the rules will not only obtain appropriate discount in the fire insurance premium but will also instilfeeling of security that the pres ence of an efficient fire-fighting equipment should engender. Direct loss from f ireand the resultant wastage is always serious but the indirect loss and the res ultant dislocation of business is oftenmuch more serious.The Regional Offices of Tariff Adv. Committee maintain an inspection staff of qualified engineers, spec ialists infire protection and prevention engineering and practice in all its asp ects. The services of this staff are available tomake recommendations and carry out inspections in keeping with the nature of work. (All references to Committee or staff thereof in this preface and in the body of the Manual apply to the Comm ittee controlling the territory withinwhich the risk is situated).The Manual ini tially deals with portable appliances and small bore hose reels, which are consi dered as first-aidappliances. The regulations regarding trailer pumps are covere d next. The last part is devoted to fixed external protection in the form of a h ydrant system which is considered the backbone of the entire fire-fighting opera tions asit fights fires of serious proportions in all classes of risks and conti nues to do so even in the event of a collapse of the buildings/structures protec ted. High-rise buildings which have become a common feature of modern society pr esent inherent fire hazard as fire brigades are often helpless in the face of fi res in such structures and are unable tosave human lives and fight fires effecti vely with traditional methods. A separate section has, therefore, beendevoted fo r prescribing the specialised type of protection required by these structures.In case it is desired to install any appliances, which are not covered by this man ual, assistance and advice may beobtained from the inspection staff maintained b y the Regional Offices.Wherever reference to any Indian Standard appears in this Manual, it should be taken as a reference to its latestversion.* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * FIRE PROTECTION MANUALREQUIREMENTS REGARDING SUBMISSION OF PLANS: Plans for submission to the Committee shall be drawn up in accordance with the following requirements: -1.1.Plans shall be clear, contain all required details including scale and point of Compass and shall bedated.1.2.Plans of new installa tions shall show the entire Compound; all buildings therein, with their door and window openings, and the boundary walls.
