Full title and description

СП 6.13130.2013 — «Системы противопожарной защиты. Электрооборудование. Требования пожарной безопасности». English title: SP 6.13130.2013 — "Fire protection systems. Electric equipment. Fire safety requirements."

Abstract

This svod pravil (SP) establishes fire-safety requirements for electrical equipment used in fire‑protection systems of buildings and structures, covering design, installation, commissioning and documentation intended to ensure safe operation and to limit fire risk from electrical components. The document was introduced in 2013 and later revised/replaced by a 2021 edition.

• ICS / categories: ICS 13.220 (Fire protection / fire safety). Main topical categories: fire‑protection systems; electrical equipment; fire safety requirements.
• Edition / version: 2013 edition (SP 6.13130.2013); later superseded by the 2021 revision (SP 6.13130.2021).
• Number of pages: Typically published in a short-form PDF (commonly distributed as a 6‑page edition in public repositories/collections).

Scope

The standard applies to design, installation, inspection and commissioning of electrical equipment that forms part of building fire‑protection systems (power supplies, control equipment, detectors and associated wiring and batteries) for newly constructed and reconstructed buildings and structures. It sets mandatory fire‑safety requirements to reduce ignition sources, ensure reliable power and control of fire‑protection devices, and specify documentation and testing procedures.

Key topics and requirements

• Terminology and normative references for electrical items in fire‑protection systems.
• Requirements for selection and installation of electrical equipment used in fire‑protection systems (cables, switchgear, panels, controllers).
• Power supply and redundancy rules for fire‑safety equipment, including emergency and reserve power arrangements.
• Protection measures against fire initiation from electrical sources (circuit protection, segregation, fire-resistant routes where required).
• Requirements for battery systems, uninterruptible power supplies, and maintenance of power supplies supporting fire systems.
• Commissioning, testing, marking, documentation and inspection regimes for electrical parts of fire‑protection systems.

Typical use and users

Used by building designers and electrical engineers, fire‑safety specialists, installation contractors, commissioning teams and regulatory inspectors in Russia and organizations working to Russian fire‑safety practice. It is referenced in project documentation, technical specifications and conformity checks for fire‑protection electrical equipment.

Related standards

Part of the SP 13130 series of fire‑protection rules (other related SP documents include SP 1.13130, SP 4.13130, SP 7.13130, etc.). It should be applied alongside national electrical rules and relevant GOST/R standards covering electrical safety, components and testing. When performing design or compliance checks, consult the currently active SP 6.13130 edition (2021) and other updated national regulations.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: SP 6.13130.2013 is a Russian svod pravil (code of practice) titled "Системы противопожарной защиты. Электрооборудование. Требования пожарной безопасности" that defines fire‑safety requirements for electrical equipment used in fire‑protection systems.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers terminology, selection and installation rules, power supply and redundancy, protection against fire caused by electrical equipment, battery and UPS requirements, testing, marking and documentation for electrical components of fire‑protection systems.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Building and electrical designers, fire‑safety engineers, installation and commissioning contractors, and regulatory inspectors working with fire‑protection systems in the Russian regulatory environment.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The 2013 edition has been superseded — the document was replaced by SP 6.13130.2021 and removed from active application in subsequent regulatory updates (references note withdrawal/replacement actions in 2021). For current requirements, use the 2021 edition or the latest regulatory texts.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it is one item in the SP 13130 series of fire‑protection rules (the 13130 family addresses different aspects of fire protection in buildings). It should be used together with other SP documents and applicable national electrical and fire‑safety standards.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Fire protection systems; electrical equipment; fire safety; emergency power; batteries; commissioning; Russian SP standards; EMERCOM.
