HONG KONG LAW

Requirements vary by building, use and direction

Statutory duties, Fire Safety Directions, licence conditions, approved plans, maintenance contracts and good practice are separate controls. An inspection, repair or single certificate is not a whole-premises compliance guarantee.

This material is provided for general fire-safety education only. It is not legal, regulatory, engineering or licensing advice. Requirements depend on the premises, building use, approved plans, licence conditions, statutory directions and current law. Obtain advice from the relevant authority and appropriately registered professionals for your specific premises.

IMMEDIATE DANGER

Fire or immediate danger: leave now and call 999

Do not remain to investigate, use a lift or return for belongings. From safety, give 999 the full address, incident details and information about anyone trapped or hurt.
