Full title and description

SP 1.13130.2009 — The systems of fire protection. Evacuation routes and exits (Системы противопожарной защиты. Эвакуационные пути и выходы). This is a Russian "Svod pravil" (set of rules) that establishes fire‑safety requirements for design and arrangement of evacuation routes, exits, stairways and related protective measures (with Amendment No.1).

Abstract

SP 1.13130.2009 sets mandatory‑format guidance (as a technical normative document used in design and fire‑safety practice) for the provision of safe evacuation in buildings: required numbers and dimensions of evacuation exits, permitted materials and finishes on evacuation paths, direction of door opening, widths of stairs and exits, emergency lighting and other measures to protect people on escape routes. The text includes Amendment No.1 which clarified several provisions.

Scope

Applies to design and arrangement of evacuation routes and evacuation (emergency) exits in buildings and structures. The set of rules covers internal evacuation paths, staircases and stairwells, exits to the exterior, requirements for emergency lighting and permissible finish materials on escape routes, plus special provisions for basements, public assembly spaces and other functionally hazardous premises. It is intended for use in developing project documentation for new and reconstructed buildings.

Key topics and requirements

• Minimum numbers of evacuation exits for rooms, floors and basements (rules for when two or more exits are required).
• Minimum clear dimensions for evacuation exits (height ≥ 1.9 m, width ≥ 0.8 m in the light, with specific exceptions).
• Direction of door opening: evacuation doors must open in the direction of escape (outward) except for specific low‑occupancy or storage cases and a few other listed exceptions.
• Minimum stair and stair‑flight widths for evacuation based on building functional class and occupancy (detailed table and formulae in the text).
• Limitations on materials and surface finishes along evacuation routes (allowed fire hazard groups for walls, ceilings and suspended ceilings depending on building class).
• Requirements for emergency lighting and signage on escape routes, and provisions for evacuation from basements and special functional spaces.

Typical use and users

Primary users are architects, building designers, fire‑safety engineers, project reviewers, municipal and state fire‑safety authorities and consultants involved in design and approval of construction projects in Russia or projects that reference Russian SP rules. Facility owners and safety managers consult the document when verifying compliance of exit arrangements and evacuation planning.
