RT Conference Proceedings T1 Maintenance and fire safety regulation in Spain and Portugal A1 Salguero-Caparrós, Francisco Miguel A1 Rubio-Romero, Juan Carlos K1 Incendios - Prevención AB Published studies focused on analyse the development of Europeanregulations regarding maintenance and fire protection, their differences, requirements,strategies and implementation, are really scarce. For this reason, the presentstudy aims to develop a comparative analysis of the Regulation on Fire SafetyInstallations in Spain and Portugal. For this, differences related to content and levelsof requirements are studied. Both regulations, leading in Europe, place specialemphasis on the participation of maintenance and installation companies, as well asin the intervention of the Engineer as a competent technician in the field. As aresult, it could be concluded that programs that encourage the analysis of the degreeof effectiveness of fire protection regulations and their difficulties in their implementationand adaptation to new technologies should be developed. Similarly, theharmonization of requirements regarding regulation in fire protection withinEuropean countries is considered very necessary, as well as the competencies ofengineers for the project writing with this scope.
