What is the primary focus of Fire Safety Regulations?

Fire Safety Regulations primarily focus on ensuring products are both functional and safe, particularly in regard to preventing and minimizing fire hazards. The regulations establish standards that guide the design, materials, and operation of buildings and products to withstand potential fire incidents and to protect the health and safety of individuals.

In the context of fire safety, ensuring functionality means that products must operate effectively while also integrating safety features that mitigate fire risks. This includes ensuring that materials are fire-resistant or non-combustible, that electrical systems are safeguarded against overheating, and that proper escape routes and detection systems are in place.

Although other areas such as improving construction processes or regulating marketing practices are important aspects of engineering design, they are not the primary concern of fire safety regulations. Similarly, standardizing the appearance of all products does not relate directly to fire safety considerations but rather pertains more to aesthetics and branding.
