Since the entry into force of the legislation, practical enforcement experience has been collected and evaluated continuously, with a view to simplifying the requirements, increasing freedom for designers and applying the results of technological developments in a flexible manner. It is complemented by taking into account signals, suggestions and needs from the relevant professional organisations and operators. The aim of the amendment is to simplify the regulation to a tolerable extent, taking into account the needs of investors, planners, contractors and operators while maintaining a reasonable level of safety, by transferring best practices abroad.

The proposal is based on Article 54/2014 of the National Fire Protection Regulation. (XII. 5.) It contains provisions amending Decree No 155/2014 of the Minister for the Interior. The amendments take into account technical progress since the entry into force of the legislation and the fire safety regulations of neighbouring countries with similar construction traditions. The separation of the legal requirements from the applicable solutions will continue, and technical solutions will be removed from the text of the legislation. In addition to a number of minor simplifications and clarifications, the amendments mainly concern the following issues: fire resistance of building structures, fire deposition, heat and smoke evacuation, evacuation, requirements for certain purposes (e.g. industrial, storage buildings).
