- Decree of the Ministry of the Interior 1 September 2021 containing the general criteria for the control and maintenance of systems, equipment and other fire safety systems;
- Decree of the Ministry of the Interior 2 September 2021 containing the criteria for the management of workplaces in operation and in emergency and characteristics of the specific fire prevention and protection service;

We remind you that, with the entry into force of the Ministerial Decree of 3 September 2021, the assessment of fire risks and the consequent definition of prevention, protection and management measures must be carried out in accordance with the design, implementation and operation criteria of fire safety, indicated in the art. 3 of the decree:
- The fire prevention technical rules establish the criteria for the design, implementation and operation of fire safety for the workplaces for which they are applicable.
- For workplaces with low fire risk, as defined in point 1, paragraph 2, of Annex I, which constitutes an integral part of this decree, the criteria for design, implementation and operation of fire safety are reported in the same annex .
- For workplaces not falling under paragraphs 1 and 2, the criteria for design, implementation and operation of fire safety are those reported in the decree of the Minister of the Interior of 3 August 2015.
- For the workplaces referred to in paragraph 2, the criteria for design, implementation and operation of fire safety may be those reported in the decree of the Minister of the Interior of 3 August 2015.
