In multi-storey buildings, flammable materials are prohibited

The government of Uzbekistan plans to ban the use of flammable materials on the exterior walls of buildings. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

This was announced on December 1 during a meeting led by President Shavkat Mirziyoyev dedicated to ecological sustainability, preparation for the winter season, and fire safety issues. The head of state emphasized the necessity of thoroughly studying the fire safety conditions in more than 44,000 multi-storey buildings across the country.

He also noted that the emergency system must be prepared for fire hazards. The president specifically stressed the need to introduce strict legislative requirements prohibiting the use of highly flammable materials on the exterior walls of buildings.

This measure aims to align construction standards and fire safety regulations in multi-storey buildings with international experience. Additionally, tasks were set to increase the accountability of responsible officials and to develop a new draft law in this regard.

This step will serve to ensure safety in buildings and protect the lives of citizens. Source: Zamin.uz.
