SHNK 2.04.09-07 PDF

Full title and description

SHNK 2.04.09-07 — "Пожарная автоматика зданий и сооружений" / "Automatic fire fighting equipment of buildings and facilities". The document establishes requirements for design, installation, interaction and power supply of automatic fire detection, alarm and extinguishing systems for buildings and structures of various functions.

Abstract

This national technical code (ШНК) sets rules for automatic fire-fighting installations (water, foam, gas, powder and fine-water systems), automatic and non-automatic fire alarm systems, associated control equipment, interconnection with building systems and safety measures for electrical supply and grounding. It replaces earlier СНиП guidance and adapts fire‑automation requirements to regional practice and modern system types used in building engineering.

General information

• Status: Active (document in force as national technical code in the relevant jurisdiction).
• Publication date: Introduced / entered into force 1 May 2007; published in the Uzbekistan "Architecture and Construction" bulletin (No. 33, 14 March 2007).
• Publisher: Official national publication / construction authority bulletin (published in the Uzbekistan Architecture & Construction bulletin).
• ICS / categories: Protection against fire — ICS 13.220 (fire protection, fire detection and alarm, firefighting systems).
• Edition / version: SHNK 2.04.09-07 (2007 edition).
• Number of pages: 87 pages (electronic / PDF versions offered by standards distributors).

Scope

The code applies to the design, selection and installation of automatic fire detection, alarm and extinguishing systems in buildings and structures (residential, public, industrial and special‑purpose), including water, foam, gas and powder extinguishing installations, autonomous extinguishing units, control equipment and the required electrical power and grounding arrangements. Exclusions and special cases (e.g., certain technological installations, warehouses with special storage conditions) are addressed by specific clauses and referenced normative documents.

Key topics and requirements

• Classification of premises and fire hazard groups; requirements for detector types and placement.
• Design rules for automatic water, foam (low/medium/high expansion), fine‑water, gas and powder extinguishing systems.
• Requirements for fire alarm system architecture, control panels, notification and evacuation integration.
• Interfacing of fire automation with building services, HVAC, lifts and emergency power systems.
• Electrical supply, standby power, protective earthing/neutral‑conditioning and safety requirements for fire systems.
• Testing, commissioning, maintenance and documentation obligations for installed systems.

Typical use and users

Used by fire safety engineers, building services designers, MEP consultants, project architects, installation contractors, commissioning teams, authorities having jurisdiction and facility operators. The code is referenced in architectural and engineering project specifications, tender documents and regulatory compliance checks in the national construction context.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: SHNK 2.04.09-07 is a national technical code setting requirements for automatic fire detection, alarm and extinguishing systems for buildings and structures (2007 edition).

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers design, installation, control, interconnections, power supply and safety measures for a wide range of automatic fire‑fighting systems (water, foam, gas, powder, fine‑water), fire alarm systems and related equipment used in buildings.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Fire safety engineers, MEP designers, contractors who install and commission fire‑fighting and alarm systems, building owners/operators and regulatory authorities responsible for construction compliance.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The 2007 SHNK edition entered into force 1 May 2007 and replaced the earlier СНиП 2.04.09-84; it is treated as the active national technical code in the jurisdictions and distributors listing it as current.
