of 11 January 1996
implementing certain provisions of the Act of the Czech National Council on Fire Protection
The Ministry of Interior provides pursuant to § 101 (a) and (d) of the Act of the Czech National Council No. 133 / 1985 Coll., on fire protection, as amended by the Act of the Czech National Council No. 425 / 1990 Coll., Act No. 40 / 1994 Coll. and Act No. 203 / 1994 Coll., 1 (hereinafter referred to as "the Act"):
DETAILS ON THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE CURRENT AUTHORITIES OF THE STATE GOVERNMENT, LEGAL PERSONS AND PHYSICAL PERSONS AT THE INSTALLATION OF THE FIRST PROTECTION
Security of fire protection for legal persons, business individuals and central government bodies
General conditions
(1) Legal persons and natural persons carrying out business activities under specific regulations (hereinafter referred to as "operating natural persons") operating activities or owners of an object where the establishment is subject to construction, procuring, securing and installing means of fire protection and fire protection equipment to the extent contained in the technical fire protection solution approved by the construction office, and if the activity or object is subject to increased fire hazard, also to the extent specified by the approved fire risk assessment. Prior to the approval of the fire hazard assessment, they shall provide, secure and install fire extinguishers to at least the extent referred to in paragraph 2.
(2) Legal persons and business natural persons who do not carry out an assessment of the fire hazard, provide, secure and install at least portable fire extinguishers for each 400 m2 of ground floor area started
(a) one portable extinguisher with a minimum content of 6 kg of extinguishing powder; or
(b) one portable extinguisher with a minimum charge content of 6 kg halon; or
(c) two portable fire extinguishers, each with a minimum load content of 5 kg CO2; or
(d) two portable fire extinguishers, each with a minimum content of 9 litres of water or water solution of foaming,
if the approved technical fire protection solution does not specify a larger range.
(3) The choice of type of portable fire extinguishers shall be made depending on the nature of the intended fire and the nature of the substances and materials used, processed and stored or on the nature of the activity carried out. Portable fire extinguishers shall be placed in places where there is a higher likelihood of fire, and in such a way as to avoid the possibility of using an inappropriate fire extinguisher.
(4) In cases where the number of portable fire extinguishers complies with the requirement laid down in paragraph 2, but fire extinguishers are not available for the entire area under consideration (e.g. a building division of space into several rooms), or only one type of fire extinguisher cannot be used, at least one portable extinguisher shall be installed for each such constructed space or at least one portable fire extinguisher with each required filling.
(5) Legal persons and natural persons involved
(a) ensure that proper, safe and fire-protection measures are properly deployed to accommodate fire extinguishers of the corresponding types and fillings according to the nature of the activity or object being operated;
(b) protect fire extinguishers from damage and misuse and ensure free access to them;
(c) ensure regular inspection, repair and filling of fire extinguishers;
(d) ensure the replacement of discarded and non-functioning fire extinguishers with operational fire extinguishers without delay.

(1) The design, assembly, repair and revision of electrical fire alarm systems, heat and smoke extraction equipment, fire water supply equipment and stable and semi-stable fire extinguishing equipment are carried out by legal persons or commercial natural persons through a person eligible for such activities (hereinafter referred to as authorised persons) on the basis of training by the manufacturer. The eligibility of these activities shall be documented in writing.
(2) The revision of the electrical fire alarm, the heat and smoke drainage equipment, the fire water supply equipment and the fixed and semi-stable fire extinguishing equipment shall be carried out periodically within one year, unless the manufacturer or project documentation provides for a shorter period. Revision shall be carried out according to the instructions and with the instrumentation supplied by the manufacturer, if supplied by the manufacturer.
(3) In the case of electric fire alarms, in addition to regular one-year revisions, tests shall be carried out on the operation of electrical fire alarms,
(a) once a month for switchboards and supplementary equipment,
(b) every six months for electrical fire alarm devices (fire detectors), including equipment controlled by electrical fire alarm systems;
if, in the project documentation, based on the advice of the designer and taking into account the operational conditions (type of environment) in which the electrical fire alarm equipment is operated, a shorter period is not specified.
(4) If the date of the electric fire alarm test is the same as the date of the periodic one-year revision, then this revision replaces the test.
(5) Legal persons and business natural persons shall ensure that electric fire alarm tests are carried out by authorised persons referred to in paragraph 1 or by persons responsible for the maintenance of such equipment.
(6) The operation of each type of fire alarm shall be tested in accordance with the instructions and using the special test products supplied by the manufacturer.
