REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS TO WOOD PROTECTION FROM FIRES AND ITS QUALITY EXPERT ASSESSMENT
PURPOSE. The article focuses on the regulatory requirements analysis in the field of fire safety provision and the quality assessment methods of fire-protective wood constructions processing and the fire-retardants efficiency. METHODS. The systematization and analysis method is used in the article. FINDINGS. The problem issues analysis on the quality assessment of fire-protective wood constructions processing, including quality indices mismatch, defined by the standard methods with the certified efficiency indices for wood fire-retardants are presented in the article; prospective research areas are stated. RESEARCH APPLICATION FIELD. It is recommended to use the research findings at planning measures aimed at construction facilities fire safety provision as well as using fire-protective means for wood constructions. CONCLUSIONS. The article shows the necessity to carry out system research for: - the development of fire resistance calculation techniques for wood constructions of a predetermined section during their processing by means of different types of fire-retardants at achieving the limiting conditions efficiency; - the development of calculation determination techniques for combustibility, flammability, and flame spread groups at wood materials processing by means of different types of fire-retardants and efficiency; - carrying out the revision of certified fire retardants efficiency indices required to forecast fire danger indices of fabricated wood construction parts of various cross-sections; - the development of techniques for fire-retardant processing expert assessment to meet the requirements of Federal legislation under the supervision responsibility of EMERCOM of Russia and the implementation of criminal-remedial activity provided by the State Fire Supervision authorities of Federal Fire Service.
