The
Venice Charter : 1964 - International Charter for
the Conservation and Restoration of Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS)
A Fire Defence Plan for an historical building must always,
at the very least, incorporate a proper consideration of this
Charter.
In order
to be allowed maximum flexibility by an Authority Having Jurisdiction
(AHJ) in the development of an appropriate Fire Defence Plan,
it is also advisable to work within generally agreed understandings,
at international level, of the following ........
| (a) |
Building,
or Site, of Historical Importance ; |
| (b) |
Building,
or Site, of Cultural Importance ; |
| (c) |
Building,
or Site, of Architectural Importance. |

Some
Wider Issues for Consideration
Our aim
must be to protect and conserve, but also to sustainably exploit
the wealth and value of cultural, historical and architectural
heritage as an important ingredient in 'social wellbeing'.
People
with Activity Limitations
Those
people, of all ages, who are unable to perform, independently
and without aid, human activities or tasks - because of a
health condition or physical / mental / cognitive / psychological
impairment of a permanent or temporary nature.

'Fire and Conservation' - The approach outlined
in this magazine article, by C.J. Walsh, would be similar
to that undertaken for Buildings of Cultural or Architectural
Importance.

Protection of Archives
(Including Computer Data Media)
Storage Critical Values:
Storage of Small Items in Fire Protected Cabinets:
Large Volumes of Storage:
Traditional approaches to Fire Protected Room construction,
which involve the use of concrete and/or masonry, are inherently
unreliable for the purpose of archival material storage, especially
very fragile / sensitive artefacts and computer data media.
We introduce
the Modular Fire Protected Room , intended for installation
in a building of framed construction, the structure of which
has been designed with sufficient fire
resistance performance .
This Room assures a protected environment for the duration
of a fire incident, i.e. from Ignition until the end
of the Cooling Phase of a Fire ........
Another version of the Modular Fire Protected Room has,
itself, a robust construction which is capable of withstanding
building collapse.
This version of Room is suitable for installation in existing
/ historical buildings which do not have a frame structure.
