During the revision process of this code, this code is finalized by the code drafting group through complying with relevant national fire prevention policy, profoundly learning lessons from fire accidents and deeply investigating new conditions and problems appearing in project construction development and difficulties encountered during the process of implementing this code, carefully summarizing engineering practice experience, learning and borrowing ideas from foreign relevant technical standards and fire prevention scientific achievements and widely soliciting for opinions.
This code consists of 6 chapters, covering general provisions, terms, types and classification of decoration materials, typical places, civil buildings, factory buildings and warehouses.
Main contents revised in this code are as follows:
1. Terms are added;
2. Typical places in civil building are combined with those in industrial building, and are separately listed as a chapter;
3. Names of civil building and place are adjusted and improved; the fire prevention requirements for decoration of civil building and place are supplemented and adjusted; fire prevention requirements for decoration of exhibition place are added;
4. Fire prevention requirements for decoration of residential building are supplemented;
5. Fire prevention requirements for decoration of industrial factory building are detailed;
6. Fire prevention requirements for decoration of warehouse are added.
In this code, the provisions printed in bold type are compulsory, and must be enforced strictly.
The Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development is in charge of the administration of this code and the explanation of the compulsory provisions, the Ministry of Public Security is responsible for routine management, and China Academy of Building Research is responsible for the explanation of specific technical contents. During the process of implementing this code, please send the comment or suggestion (if any) to China Academy of Building Research (address: No.30 North 3rd Ring East Road, Beijing; 100013) for reference in future revision.

Code for Fire Prevention in Design of Interior Decoration of Buildings
1 General Provisions
1.0.1 This code is formulated with view to regulating the design of interior decoration of buildings, reducing fire hazards and protecting the personal and property safety.
10.2 This code is applicable to the fire prevention design of interior decoration of industrial and civil buildings while not applicable to that of historic buildings and timber buildings.
1.0.3 For the design of interior decoration of buildings, incombustible and flame retardant materials shall be actively adopted while materials generating high volume of dense smoke or toxic gas during combustion shall be avoided, so as to realize safety, applicability, technical advancement, economy and rationality.
1.0.4 The fire prevention design of interior decoration of buildings shall meet not only meet those specified in this code, but also comply with those in the relevant current national standards.
2 Terms
2.0.1 interior decoration of buildings
activities such as decoration, protection and fixed facility installation in buildings to meet functional requirements
2.0.2 decorative fabric
Textiles, e.g. window curtain and purdah, made of natural fibers such as cotton, linen, silk and wool as well as other synthetic fibers, so as to meet the interior functional requirements of buildings
2.0.3 partition
the vertical partition fixed in the interior but away from the roof of the building
2.0.4 fixed furniture
the furniture fixed together with the building structure or not liable to translocation, such as closet, wall cabinet, display stand, large goods shelf, etc. in the building
3 Types and Classification of Decoration Material
3.0.1 According to the application positions and functions, the decoration materials may be classified into seven categories, i.e. ceiling decoration material, wall face decoration material, floor decoration material, partition decoration material, fixed furniture, decorative fabric and other decoration materials.
Note: other decoration materials refer to stair handrail, picture rail, skirting, window curtain box, radiator cover, etc.
3.0.2 According to the combustion performance, the decoration materials shall be classified into 4 levels and shall meet the requirements specified in Table 3.0.2.
Type 3.0.2 Combustion Performance Level of Decoration material
Level Combustion performance of decoration material
A Incombustibility
B1 Flame retardancy
B2 Combustibility
B3 Inflammability
3.0.3 The combustion performance level of decoration material shall be determined through testing according to the relevant requirements of GB 8624 Classification for Burning Behavior of Building Materials and Products.
3.0.4 The gypsum plasterboard and mineral-cotton acoustic board with combustion performance reaching Level B1 and installed on metal joist may be used as Level A decoration materials.
3.0.5 The paper or cloth wall paper with mass per unit area less than 300g/m2, where directly bonded to Level A base material, may be used as Level B1 decoration material.
3.0.6 The inorganic decorative coating on Level A base material may be used as Level A decoration material; the organic decorative coating on Level A base material, with coating ratio less than 1.5kg/m2 and dry film thickness of coating not greater than 1.0mm, may be used as Level B1 decoration material.
3.0.7 Where multi-layer decoration materials are adopted, the combustion performance level of each layer shall meet the requirements of this code. The combustion performance level of composite decoration material shall be determined through integral testing.
