1 With the exceptin f language, it wuld nt be an exaggeratin t characterise glbal fire safety standards as the mst urgent utstanding issue in the pursuit f the public interest in glbal safety and perfrmance cmparability.

10 IFSS Valuatin f real estate Valuatin Based n pen market value Use best cmparables available Public sentiment is against dangerus buildings Glbal investrs very aware f this as a glbal issue Lcal investrs very aware Banks very aware f incnsistencies S n investment and inability t raise finance rics.rg/standards

11 IFSS - Internatinal Fire Safety Standards rics.rg/standards

12 Why is there a need fr IFSS? Prperty f all types is built and managed differently arund the wrld, which leads t: difficulty in prviding cnsistent and transparent infrmatin frm ne market t the next incnsistency further undermining existing internatinal standards such as IFRS and IVS a degree f uncertainty in prperty markets uncertainty fr internatinal financial investrs uncertainty by the public leading t plitical instability rics.rg/standards

13 Fire Safety in Buildings Fire safety in buildings has tw arenas: Design and cnstructin prviding the fire safety infrastructure Building in use using and maintaining the fire safety infrastructure rics.rg/standards

14 Design and Cnstructin Prviding the fire safety infrastructure Fire safety design needs t address: Hlistically the whle building, nt just cladding, n a fire engineered apprach Fire preventin and arsn resistance Fire detectin and alarm Means f escape/evacuatin Structural fire resilience Fire grwth cntrl incl fire suppressin Fire fighting facilities Fire engineers input Supervisin f cnstructin rics.rg/standards

15 Building In Use Using and maintaining the fire safety infrastructure Fire risk assessment Building management Regular inspectin, reprting & testing Maintenance Training Existing buildings incremental imprvements rics.rg/standards

16 What are Internatinal Fire Safety Standards (IFSS)? IFSS will ffer a glbal slutin t: address current incnsistencies in the way prperty is designed, built and managed fr fire safety Ensure different types f prperty including ffices, residential, retail and industrial are safe fr users Ensure cnfidence in prperty investment IFSS will be implemented by all calitin rganisatins, thrugh their members. rics.rg/standards

17 IFSS Cnsistency Cnsistency Cnsistent standards enable gvernments & clients t accurately quantify risks and ther sustainability measures. Enable gvernments t reassure the public and investrs rics.rg/standards

18 IFSS Inward investment Transparency Imprved cnfidence in natinal market fr freign direct investment at all stages f the prperty lifecycle. rics.rg/standards

19 IFSS Cnsistent Cmparability Remves need fr multiple differing standards within cuntries (such as the UK), and allws fr better freign direct investment assessment. rics.rg/standards

20 IFSS Future prf Future prf Utilising internatinal best practice early as the wrld mves t this set f standards, as it has dne with IFRS and ther internatinal standards. rics.rg/standards

21 IFSS Challenges Why nt ISO? Takes t lng and csts t much ISO set up fr prducts nt prfessinal behaviur IP wned by ISO and cst (f dwnlading) is a barrier Any ne cuntry can vet a standard IFSS Calitin members develp the standards and ensure it s adptin rics.rg/standards

22 IFSS Team apprach These issues need a team apprach Fire engineers are key t the slutins Opprtunity t build a glbal fire engineering prfessin is huge Prfessinal bdies must cllabrate rics.rg/standards
