INTRODUCTION

This Practical Remediation Guidance provides factory owners, managers, signatory companies and trade unions with answers to common remediation queries that the Accord is receiving regarding: • List of equipment suppliers and vendors, • Fire Alarm and Fire Protection system designs• Locking features, collapsible gates/sliding doors/rolling shutters• Firedoorcertification• Detailedengineeringassessmentsandstructuralretrofittingworks

1. LIST OF SUPPLIERS:

Thelistofsupplierswehavecompiledtohelpfactoriestosourcefireequipmentisbasedonthe information provided by the suppliers. We do not make any quality check during the process of enlistment. The list is not an endorsement or approval by the Accord. There is no approved supplier list by the Accord. Please refer to Appendix A for an updated list of suppliers.

2. FIRE ALARM AND FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEM DESIGNS:

Allfirealarmdesigns,sprinklersystemdesignsandstandpipe(hydrant)designsshallbesubmitted to the Accord for review prior to installation. If the installation work is done without reviewed designs, the system might not be recognized by the Accord. Please refer to Appendix B for drawing submission criteria.

3. LOCKING FEATURES, COLLAPSIBLE GATES/SLIDING DOORS/ROLLING SHUTTERS:

Under the national building code and the Accord, Alliance, and BUET standards, collapsible doorsorgates(horizontal,vertical,roll-uporaccordionstyle)areprohibitedinRMGfactoryegress routes.

• All collapsible gates must be permanently removed from the doorways and stairways which lead to an exit of the building.

• There are no exceptions to this requirement. All lockable, collapsible gates must be removedfromallexitsfromtheRMGfactorybuildings.

• Fire doors can be equipped with security hardware and locks which permit locking from theoutsidewherethedoorcanstillbeopenedfromtheinside(evenwhenthedoorislockedfromtheoutside).

• Fire doors with permitted locking systems as described above provide the same level of security as collapsible gates.

• The time lines in the inspection report are to be followed strictly.

4. FIRE DOOR CERTIFICATION:
