Registration of the declaration of compliance of the material and technical base with the requirements of the legislation in the State Emergency Service of Ukraine

When starting a new business, its owner is obliged to take care not only of obtaining the necessary permits and licenses, but also of ensuring fire safety. Until 2013, Ukraine had a law of the same name, which required obtaining a permit from the fire control authorities to start a company. After the Civil Protection Code came into force, the permit was canceled, but now it is necessary to register a declaration of compliance of the premises and equipment of a business entity with fire safety requirements.

It is not difficult to register such an act, but in order to obtain a positive decision, you need to carefully study the legislation and spend time on paperwork. The lawyers of the RegService Company will help to approve the document as soon as possible without any special efforts on your part.

Features of the procedure

According to Article 57 of the Code, before starting the work of newly established companies, using real estate objects (detached buildings, premises, etc.), an entrepreneur is obliged to submit a declaration to the emergency service, a sample of which is approved by the Cabinet of Ministers of June 5, 2013 No. 404 (as amended on February 14, 2018). Enterprises with a high level of risk are also subject to examination. Fire safety assessment is carried out by an entity holding a special license.

Submission of the declaration is mandatory if:

• the building is just being put into operation;
• new technologies are used in production;
• equipment with fire hazardous mechanisms is used in the course of the company's activities.

At facilities with low and medium risk, the assessment is carried out independently. The act is not submitted:

• when using retail outlets, stalls in the market, if their placement was previously agreed with the fire supervision authority;
• in case of leasing a real estate object, if the owner of the building or premises has previously registered the declaration;
• if the object is put into operation after completion of construction, overhaul, reconstruction, restoration.

The decision to approve the declaration is made within 10 business days. If you do not receive a response from the department within two weeks, the fire service has no complaints and you can start operating.

Failure to submit a registered declaration in accordance with Article 175-2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses is punishable by a fine of 40 to 100 tax-free minimum incomes.
