Building Code: Verifying fire safety compliance in Singapore interiors

SS 550 governs fire safety for interior design in Singapore.

SS 550 covers fire-rated materials, compartmentation, escape routes, and fire protection systems.

Compartmentation restricts fire and smoke spread, providing more time for occupants to evacuate.

Walls, ceilings, flooring, and furnishings may require fire-rated materials, depending on the building type and occupancy.

Engage a qualified professional to review your plans and ensure compliance with SS 550 and other relevant regulations.

Escape routes must have adequate lighting, clear signage, and fire-resistant doors.

You can purchase the SS 550 standard from the Singapore Standards Council or relevant retailers.
