Full title and description

СП 8.13130.2009 — Свод правил. Системы противопожарной защиты. Источники наружного противопожарного водоснабжения. Требования пожарной безопасности. (English title: SP 8.13130.2009 — Fire protection systems. Sources of outdoor firefighting water supply. Fire safety requirements.)

Abstract

This Svod pravil defines fire-safety requirements for sources of external (outdoor) firefighting water supply used by settlements, municipal areas and organizations: classification of water sources, minimum delivery rates, arrangements and reserves (tanks, reservoirs), placement and number of fire hydrants, pump-station requirements and procedures for coordination with water-supply organizations. The document includes exclusions for certain industrial facilities and was issued with an amendment (No.1).

Scope

Applies to the design, arrangement and operation of sources of outdoor firefighting water supply for settlements, municipal territories and organizations: open water reservoirs, water-supply network hydrants, pump stations, fire-water storage tanks and related arrangements. The standard establishes calculation methods for required flow rates, placement rules for hydrants and technical requirements for pump stations and water reserves. The document explicitly excludes certain classes of facilities (for example some explosives-handling sites, most objects of the oil & gas extraction and refining industry, certain power-generation facilities and other special-purpose objects regulated by industry-specific rules).

Key topics and requirements

• Classification and types of external water sources (open reservoirs, rivers, municipal networks) and required protective measures.
• Rules and minimum criteria for calculating firefighting water flow (external and combined external/internal demands).
• Placement, spacing and number of fire hydrants for different settlement and site categories.
• Pump station categories, reliability classes and fire-resistance requirements for pump-house structures.
• Requirements for fire-water storage reserves (volumes, refill arrangements and delivery guarantees).
• Coordination and contractual arrangements with utilities supplying firefighting water (technical conditions, reserve supply agreements).
• Exemptions and special conditions for industrial or hazardous facilities (references to sector-specific rules where applicable).

Typical use and users

Used by fire-safety engineers, municipal planners, water‑utility designers, infrastructure and civil works designers, consultants preparing technical conditions and contracts with water suppliers, and regulators performing reviews and inspections. The standard is referenced in project documentation for external firefighting water supply and in formulations of technical requirements for water utilities and local authorities.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: СП 8.13130.2009 is a Svod pravil (collection of rules) issued by МЧС Russia that sets requirements for sources of outdoor (external) firefighting water supply — reservoirs, hydrants, pump stations and reserves used for firefighting purposes.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers classification of water sources, calculation methods for required firefighting flows, placement and number of hydrants, pump‑station requirements, storage (reserve) volumes and coordination with water suppliers; also lists facility types excluded from its scope.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Fire‑safety engineers, municipal and site infrastructure designers, water utilities, project reviewers and regulatory authorities use it when designing or approving external firefighting water supply systems.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: Superseded — СП 8.13130.2009 was replaced by СП 8.13130.2020 (approved by МЧС order No.225 dated 30 March 2020; the 2020 svod pravil entered into force 30 September 2020). For current design and regulatory practice use the 2020 edition unless a project specifically references the older 2009 text.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it belongs to the МЧС “Свод правил” series on fire protection (the 13130 family of SP documents), which covers multiple aspects of fire safety (evacuation routes, internal/external water supplies, fire‑fighting equipment, etc.).

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: firefighting water supply, external water sources, fire hydrant, pump station, fire-water reserve, МЧС, свод правил, пожарная безопасность.
