What changes does Decree 105/2025/ND-CP bring to fire safety regulations for industrial gas systems?

1. The biggest shift: from “pre-approval” to “post-inspection”

Previously (under Decree 136):

• Projects had to wait for fire safety (FPC) design approval before construction

• Authorities were involved from the early stages

Under Decree 105:

• Businesses are allowed to take responsibility for design and construction

• Authorities will inspect during acceptance or operation stages

In simple terms:

No more “apply → wait → then proceed”
Now it’s “build correctly → then get inspected”

2. Investors can self-appraise fire safety designs

• Investors or businesses are now allowed to conduct internal appraisal of fire safety designs

• Applicable to projects not subject to mandatory government approval

Benefits:

• Reduced waiting time

• Greater flexibility and autonomy

3. Simplified and more flexible documentation process

Previously:

• Fire safety documents were separate and complex

• Multiple administrative steps required

Now:

• Documentation can be integrated into overall construction or project dossiers

• Reduced duplication of paperwork

However: Businesses must ensure compliance from the beginning, as revisions later are more limited

4. Changes in acceptance procedures for gas systems

Previously:

• Required to queue for official fire safety acceptance

• Often caused delays and bottlenecks

Now:

• Businesses conduct internal acceptance first

• Authorities perform actual inspections afterward

Meaning: Responsibility is now largely shifted to the enterprise

5. Increased requirements for documentation and data management

• Businesses must maintain complete fire safety records

• May be required to update data on centralized fire safety systems

No more: “complete and forget” approach

6. Stronger responsibility for operation and training

Businesses are required to:

• Establish internal fire safety teams

• Conduct regular training

• Perform periodic drills

Less reliance on authorities, more internal accountability

Conclusion Decree 105 fundamentally changes the management approach:

It is no longer about “following procedures correctly”

but about “getting the technical execution right from the start”
