Fire Safety for Shopping Malls and Retail

शॉपिंग मॉल और खुदरा के लिए अग्नि सुरक्षा

Malls, markets and multiplexes with large crowds, high fuel loads and big open volumes.

Fire safety context

Retail buildings fall under the Mercantile group, and multiplexes and halls under Assembly. Both draw large crowds, store plenty of combustible stock and often have large open atria where smoke can travel quickly.

These buildings are among those where a smoke management system is especially relevant to life safety.

Key considerations

  • Crowds

    Exits, signage and public address arrangements must cope with large numbers of unfamiliar people.

  • High fuel load

    Stock and displays increase fire load, so suppression and housekeeping matter.

  • Smoke in large volumes

    Atria and multi-level layouts call for dedicated smoke management.

  • Many tenants

    Shops each fit out differently, so coordination is needed.

Every building is different

These are general considerations. We do not offer identical solutions for all buildings; requirements are assessed for each building against the regulations that apply.
