SHNK 2.01.02-04 — "Fire safety of buildings and structures" (original title in Russian/Uzbek: ШНК 2.01.02-04 / ШНҚ 2.01.02-04). This national regulatory document sets fire-safety requirements for the design, classification, prevention, evacuation and fire-fighting measures applicable to buildings and facilities in the Republic of Uzbekistan.

Abstract

SHNK 2.01.02-04 provides mandatory technical and organizational rules to ensure the fire safety of buildings and structures, covering classification by fire hazard and fire-resistance, measures to protect occupants (evacuation routes, signage, safe egress), prevention of fire spread, requirements for fire protection systems and requirements for firefighting and rescue operations. It was prepared for use by designers, builders, regulators and emergency services.

Scope

This document applies to the design, construction, reconstruction and operation of residential, public, industrial and auxiliary buildings and structures within Uzbekistan where national fire-safety requirements are mandatory. It sets the classification of buildings by fire hazard and fire-resistance, minimum provisions for means of escape and evacuation, passive and active fire protection measures, requirements for fire separation and distances, and conditions for acceptance by fire-safety authorities. It supersedes earlier Soviet-era SNiP fire-prevention norms where indicated.

Key topics and requirements

• Classification of buildings and premises by fire hazard and fire-resistance rating.
• Requirements for safe egress: number, width and protection of evacuation routes, stairs and exits; signage and lighting for evacuation.
• Measures to prevent fire initiation and propagation, including compartmentation, fire barriers and recommended separation distances between buildings.
• Fire resistance requirements for structural elements and materials; methods for increasing fire resistance (e.g., fireproofing, intumescent coatings).
• Requirements for active fire protection systems: detection, alarm, automatic suppression and smoke removal where applicable.
• Provisions for fire-fighting access, equipment, rescue operations and coordination with the national fire service (MChS / Ministry of Internal Affairs fire authorities).
• Documentation and compliance: drawings, calculations, tests and acceptance procedures required for approval by authorities.

Typical use and users

Primary users include architects, building designers, structural and fire-protection engineers, contractors, building owners, local regulatory authorities and fire-safety inspectors in Uzbekistan. The standard is used during design, permitting, construction quality control and at periodic inspections to ensure buildings meet national fire-safety obligations. It is also referenced by material suppliers and fire-protection service providers for product selection and certification.

Related standards

SHNK 2.01.02-04 references and links to earlier and parallel national/regional norms and building codes (for example the superseded SNiP 2.01.02-85, related SHNK/KMK documents on public buildings, HVAC, and fire-automation rules such as SHNK 2.04.09-07). It is typically used alongside other Uzbek construction norms (KMK/SHNK series) and technical regulations governing materials, ventilation, electrical installations and evacuation planning.
