FIRE SAFETY LICENSE

What is Fire Safety License?

A restaurant must protect their customers from all things dangerous, be it adulterated food products or hazards such as fire. A No-Objection-Certificate (NOC) from the fire department is thus required to run a restaurant.
Fire accidents are quite common in a country which boasts of amazing skyscrapers and luxurious occupational spaces. Though majestic and delicate in outlook, buildings of such kind are prone to unanticipated fire incidents, more so in a city like Delhi given the population surge and unplanned growth witnessed in the capital. Paying heed to the safety of such buildings and its occupants, the Building Bye-laws were adopted. Fire prevention and protection responsibilities are primarily vested with the state governments, and the rules concerning the same are established in the form of State Regulations or Municipal By-Laws.

You'll need a fire safety certificate if any of the following apply:-

1. your building is new
2. your building has changed use
3. A fire safety order has been issued for your building or premises.
