Annually, fires inflict huge losses to both business entities of various forms of ownership and the state overall. According to analytical data for nine months of 2023, 2212 fires occurred in Ukraine at objects of different forms of ownership subject to state supervision (control) in technogenic and fire safety.
Many researchers confirm that fire protection of wood is an effective prophylactic measure. However, there are significant factors influencing the reduction of its efficiency directly and also factors that do not affect the efficiency of fire protection directly but provide an objective determination of the quality of fire protection. One of the factors in objectively determining the quality of fire protection is verifying the fire protection compliance.
This study aims to determine the causes and patterns of improper fire protection of wooden building structures with fire-retardant solutions (lower than stated in the manufacturer’s regulations).
The analysis of recent research and publications shows that the issue of verifying the compliance of fire protection of wooden structures directly after the works in Ukraine has not been studied. Many modern fire protection solutions on the Ukrainian market require improved quality control methods. The existent system of verification of the compliance of fire protection has substantial defects and does not give a possibility to define objectively the quality of fire protection. Precise terminology is absent in normative acts, the methods described for verifying fire protection are not up-to-date, and the regulatory documents for fireproof solutions, in most cases, do not contain the necessary information for quality control.
Improvement of verification of the compliance of fire protection of the exploited wood is a necessity at all stages, beginning from determining correct terminology and actualisation of the Rules of fire protection to developing effective methods of verification taking into account the features of modern fireproof solutions.
