International Codes and Standards (IC&S)-Team

Internationale Aufklärungsarbeit, die positive Veränderungen bewirkt

Durch die Interessenvertretungsarbeit unserer International Codes Group (ICG) hat sich FM als bedeutender Akteur bei den Bemühungen zur Veirbesserung von Brandschutzvorschriften und -regelungen in wichtigen gewerblichen und industriellen Märkten etabliert. In den vergangenen Jahren hat die ICG eine maßgebliche Rolle bei der fachlichen Begleitung und Unterstützung von Forschungsaktivitäten übernommen, insbesondere bei der Verabschiedung nationaler Brandschutzregelungen in Indien, der Aktualisierung von Vorschriften in China sowie der Entwicklung einer nationalen Muster-Brandschutzregelung in Brasilien – neben weiteren Entwicklungen in internationalen Märkten.

Die ICG besteht aus erfahrenen Expert*innen, die in entwickelten und aufstrebenden Märkten weltweit tätig sind. Die ICG widmet sich einem einzigen Ziel: der Verbesserung von Bau- und Brandschutzvorschriften zum Nutzen unserer Kunden.

Das Team arbeitet eng mit Behörden, Forschungseinrichtungen und Interessenverbänden zusammen, um wirksame Anforderungen zu fördern, zu entwickeln und umzusetzen. Auf diese Weise wird die Resilienz unserer Kunden gestärkt und kostspielige Sachschäden – insbesondere durch Brände – werden vermieden. Durch diese gemeinsamen Anstrengungen konnten in Asien, Lateinamerika und Europa erhebliche Fortschritte erzielt werden.
