Common questions

About these guides

Where should I start if fire compliance is new to me?

Start with the pillar guide on fire safety compliance in India. It covers the four overlapping cycles — the IS 2190 extinguisher regime, the half-yearly statutory certificate, the annual NBC 2016 audit and the 2026 healthcare guidelines — and ends with a six-question checklist you can work through against your own building without commissioning anything.

Is this content specific to India?

Yes, deliberately. Generic fire safety advice is abundant and rarely useful, because the frequencies, the filings and the responsible party are all set by local law. These guides are written against Indian standards and state fire acts, with sources cited so you can check them.

Do I need the software to use any of this?

No. The checklists and cycles described here apply whether you record them on paper, in a spreadsheet or in a system. The guides are written to be useful on their own; where software genuinely changes the outcome, we say so and explain why.
