Full title and description

SP 2.13130.2012 — Systems of fire protection. Ensuring fire resistance of objects of protection (Системы противопожарной защиты. Обеспечение огнестойкости объектов защиты). This Set of Rules establishes requirements for assessing and ensuring the fire resistance and compartmentation of building elements and protected units, and contains normative provisions with Amendment No. 1.

Abstract

This document specifies principles, classifications and technical requirements to provide and verify the fire‑resistance performance of protecting units (fire barriers, compartments and structural elements) within buildings and structures. It is intended to support design, construction, repair and assessment activities to meet Russian fire‑safety regulatory objectives.

General information

• Status: Effective (originally approved and in force for the 2012 edition; later editions published).
• Publication date: Introduced/effective 01 December 2012; approved by the Russian Emergency Situations Ministry (MChS) 21 November 2012.
• Publisher: Approved/issued by the Ministry of the Russian Federation for Civil Defence, Emergency Situations and Elimination of Consequences of Natural Disasters (MChS / EMERCOM of Russia).
• ICS / categories: 13.220 — Fire protection; fire resistance of building materials and elements.
• Edition / version: Edition 2012 (Set of Rules SP 2.13130.2012) with Amendment No. 1.
• Number of pages: 27 pages (Russian edition distribution records).

Scope

Applies to the design, selection and verification of fire‑resistance measures for structural elements, fire barriers and protected units (fire compartments) of buildings and structures. The scope includes classification of constructive fire hazard, assignment of required fire‑resistance limits, requirements for fire compartments and passive fire protection measures used to ensure the stability and integrity of constructions under fire exposure. The provisions are used during design, reconstruction, major repair and technical re‑equipping of facilities.

Key topics and requirements

• Classification of buildings by constructive fire hazard and assignment of required degrees of fire resistance for elements and compartments.
• Rules for sizing and delimiting fire compartments and fire barriers (maximum floor areas, compartmentation principles).
• Fire‑resistance limits (E, I, R/E criteria) and methods to determine or verify them for structural elements and assemblies.
• Requirements for passive fire protection materials and application (coatings, linings, barriers), including limits on types/thicknesses where specified.
• Design and operational provisions for maintaining fire‑resistance during construction, repair and technical re‑equipment.

Typical use and users

Used by structural and fire‑safety engineers, architects, building designers, regulatory authorities, fire safety auditors, and contractors performing design, inspection, reconstruction or certification of building fire‑resistance. It is referenced in technical documentation, design briefs and by supervisory bodies when verifying compliance with Russian fire safety requirements.

Related standards

Closely related to other Russian SP and GOST documents on fire safety and fire‑resistance testing (for example various SP 4/5/7 series and GOST 30247.x test methods). The 2012 edition has been succeeded by a later edition SP 2.13130.2020 which consolidates updates. Practitioners commonly use it alongside the Technical Regulations on Fire Safety and complementary SP documents for compartmentation, HVAC fire requirements and fire‑protection systems.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: SP 2.13130.2012 is a Russian Set of Rules covering systems of fire protection with requirements to ensure the fire resistance of protected objects (buildings, structures and their elements). It sets classification rules and technical requirements for fire‑resistance design and verification.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers assignment of degrees of fire resistance, sizing and delimitation of fire compartments and barriers, required limits for structural and non‑structural elements under fire conditions, and requirements for passive fire‑protection measures used to meet those limits.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Structural and fire‑safety engineers, architects, building designers, contractors, facility owners and regulatory/supervisory authorities involved in design, construction, reconstruction, inspection and certification for fire safety.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The 2012 edition has been widely used since introduction in December 2012, but it has been replaced by a later consolidated edition SP 2.13130.2020; users should check whether the 2020 edition (or subsequent amendments) is the applicable document for new designs or regulatory compliance.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it is one of a series of SP (Set of Rules) documents on fire protection and building safety (for example SP 4.x, SP 5.x, SP 7.x and related design rules) and is referenced alongside GOST fire‑resistance test standards.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Fire resistance; fire compartment; fire barrier; constructive fire hazard; passive fire protection; fire‑resistance limit; SP 2.13130.2012.
