Sole evaluation document of risks deriving from
interference between concomitant activities occurring
in the same working area.
ART
Fortezza da Basso – FIRENZE
April- May 2015
Art. 26 D.Lgs. 81/2008 and s.m.i.
1. The employer, when entrusting jobs, services and supplies to a building contractor firm, or
independent workers within his/her own business, or to a single productive unit of the same as well as
for all work in his/her own firm during its normal productive cycle provided that s/he is legally
responsible for the areas in which the contracted or independent workers' work is executed:
a) shall verify, in the manner indicated in the above decree in article 6, paragraph 8, subparagraph g),
the suitability of the building contractor firm or of the independent workers to undertake the job,
service or purveyance to be entrusted by a contracting, labour or purveyance contract. Until the
aforementioned law comes into effect the verification is to be done in the following manner:
1) acquisition of the Chamber of Commerce, Industry or Crafts membership certificate;
2) acquisition of certification declared under the personal responsibility (autocertification) of the
building contractor firm or of the independent workers in which they declare that they possess the
necessary technical and professional competence as per art. 47 of the sole text of the legislation and
regulations regarding administrative matters found in the D.P.R. 28 December 2000 n.445.;
b) shall provide to the same subjects detailed information regarding the specific risks existing in the
areas in which they will be working and the safety and emergency measures which have been adopted
for their specific activity.
2. Pursuant to paragraph 1, the employers, including subcontractors:
a) shall cooperate to implement measures for the prevention and protection from risk relating to the
work stipulated in the contract;
b) shall coordinate the implementation of risk prevention and protection, informing each other so as to
avoid risks due to interference between firms executing the separate jobs which contribute to the
completion of all the stipulated work.
3. Employers shall promote cooperation and coordination as per paragraph 2, elaborating a single
document of risk evaluation which shall indicate the measures adopted to eliminate or, where this is
not possible, reduce risks due to interference to a minimum. This document is to be attached to the
building or labour contract and is to be up-dated according to changes in the conditions of the work,
services or purveyance. For contracts stipulated before the 25th of August 2007 and still in effect as
of the 31st of December 2008, the aforementioned document must be attached before the latter
date. The provisions of the present paragraph do not apply to the specific risks inherent to the
activity of the building contractor firm or of the single independent workers. Pursuant to legislative
decree 12 April 2006 n° 163, and subsequent modifications, this document is to be compiled, for the
purpose of assigning the contract, by the person with decisional and spending power relative to the
specific contracting job,
3-bis. Above and beyond the dispositions in paragraphs 1 and 2, the obligation as per paragraph 3 is not
applicable to intellectual services, to the mere purveyance of materials or equipment, nor to jobs and
services which do not last longer than two days and which do not involve risks deriving from the
presence of biological, atmospheric, explosive, or cancerogenous agents or from the presence of
particular risks as outlined in attachment XI.
3-ter. In those cases in which the contract has been assigned to subjects as per article 3, paragraph
34, of the legislative decree 12 April 2006, n. 163, or in all cases where the employer is not the
commissioning party, the subject that assigns the contract shall compile the interference risk
evaluation document which must contain an evaluation that identifies the standard risks relative to the
type of work requested which might derive from the execution of the contract. The subject on whose
premises the work shall be done, must integrate the contract before the start of work, correlating it
to the specific interference risks present in the area in which the work will take place; the integration,
signed by the executor in agreement, shall integrate the original contract.
4. Without prejudice to current legislation regarding joint responsibility for non-payment of pay and
social insurance, the commissioning party, building contractor and any subcontractors shall answer
jointly and severally for any injuries incurred by any of the contracting or sub-contracting workers
who will not have been indemnified by the National Institute for Insurance Against Accidents
Occurring at Work (INAIL) or by the Social Insurance Institute for the Maritime Sector (IPSEMA).
The provisions of the present paragraph do not apply to injury arising from the specific risks inherent
to the activity of building contractor or subcontractor firms.
5. For individual contracts of subcontracting, contracting and purveyance, even when still in effect at
the date of coming into force of the above decree as per the articles 1559, with the exclusion of
contracts for the purveyance of essential goods and services, 1655, 1656, and 1677 of the Civil Code,
all costs relating to the elimination of or, where this is not possible, the reduction of risks regarding
health and safety in the workplace deriving from interferences between jobs must be specifically
indicated according to the provisions in article 141B of the Civil Code, otherwise the contract is nul and
void. The costs as per the preceding sentence are not subject to reduction. For those contracts as
described in the preceding sentence stipulated before the 25th of August 2007, the work safety costs
must be indicated by the 31st of December 2008 if the contract is still in effect at that date. This
data may be accessed by workers' safety representatives and by the local organizations of the most
widely representative national workers' unions upon request.
6. In the arrangement of building contract competitions and in the evaluation of anomalies in offers
during the procedures of conferment of public works, service and purveyance contracts, the judging
panel must evaluate whether the price is adequate and sufficient with respect to the costs relating to
labour and safety, which must be specifically indicated and congruous to the size and characteristics
of the job, services or purveyances. To this end, the Ministry of Work and Social Insurance
periodically determines the cost of labour, published in designated tables, based on prices contained in
the collective national contracts stipulated by the most representative unions, regulations regarding
social insurance and assistance, the various sectors of goods, and the various geographical areas. In
the absence of an applicable national collective contract, the contract from the most similar goods
sector is used to determine the cost of labour.
7. For all that which is not contained in the legislative decree n.163 of the 12th of April 2006 regarding
public works building contracts, lately modified by article 8, paragraph 1 in law n. 123 of the 3rd of
August 2007, the provisions of the present decree shall be applicable .
8. All persons working for a contractor or subcontractor must be provideed with an identifying card
that includes the worker's name and photograph, and the name of the employer.
Annex V Interministerial Decree 22 July 2014 “Decreto Palchi”
ANNEX V OF I.D. 22 JULY 2014
Minimum contents of sole risk evaluation document, pursuant to art. 26
of D.Lgs. no. 81 of 2008 for fair events
The sole risk evaluation document, as per art.26 of D.Lgs. no.81 of 2008, is specific to each fair event; its
contents are the result of planning and organization choices in compliance with art.26 of D.Lgs. no.81 of 2008,
with particular consideration for the context and site in which the event takes place, and contains at least:
a) time and date for setup and dismantling
b) characteristics of the fair premises
c) access and logistics criteria for the fair premises
d) emergency plan for the fair premises
e) information regarding risks present on the fair premises
f) indication of interference risks during setup and dismantling and the safety and protection measures adopted
1. GENERALITIES
The sole evaluation document of risks deriving from interference, DUVRI, is drawn up according to
the provisions in art.26 par.3 of the Leg.Decree no.81/08, in order to identify the measures adopted
to eliminate or, where this is not possible, minimize the risks of building contract job interference.
This company, as organizer of the fair event called "Artisanal Products Exhibition" which in 2015
will be held in the Fortezza da Basso in Florence, to comply with the provisions of art.26 of
Leg.Decree 81/2008 and s.m.i. and Annex V of Decreto Palchi, has carried out a interference risk
evaluation for this event.
The risk evaluation has established that there may be interference between ORGANIZER and
EXHIBIORS-SUPPLIERS as provided for in paragraph 3 of the said article 26, although minimal,
since the organizing company does not participate directly with its own personnel in the set-up and
dismantling of the event. However, the presence of exhibitors and suppliers in the "workplace" of
the event creates the possibility of job interference risks.
The identification of interference between different jobs must be done by analyzing the
combination, overlap or increase in risks due to the situation of the environment, both in detail and
in general. The objective is to establish cooperation between employers, including subcontractors,
for the implementation of safety and prevention measures affecting the contracted work. This can
be effected by coordinating safety and protection measures for worker protection, by informing
one another to eliminate risks due to interferences between jobs of different companies involved in
the execution of the totality of the work, and finally, by organizing both systematic controls and
further measures to maintain or gradually better the safety measures achieved.
The measures in the DUVRI document are not applicable to the specific risks of the activity
of the building contracting companies (or subcontractors) or individual self-employed workers.
In the case in which, during the carrying out of the contract, it becomes necessary to modify the
contract, as indicated in the Ministry of Labour circular no. 24 of 14 November 2007, the
contracting party (commissioning party) updates the DUVRI. Therefore, the DUVRI can be updated
by the commissioner, also upon proposals by the executor of the building contract, in the case of
technical, logistical or organizational modifications affecting the manner of realization.

The parties concerned with present document are:
a) Organizer: Firenze Fiera S.p.a.
b) The Exhibiting Firms:
Before beginning work, it will be possible to see the layout with the location of the exhibiting firms
present in the fair area.
This layout may undergo variation up until the start of the event.
c) Purveyors of Firenze Fiera
d) Building Contractors or Contract Firms.
Companies, businesses, or independent workers working in the Fortezza da Basso in whatever
capacity during the aforementioned exhibition. Included are persons working for Exhibiting Firms to
ready stands (outfitters) or to provide supplies.
Hereafter, the "Commissioning party" is defined as any business (exhibitor, outfitter, supplier,
Organizer, etc.) which entrusts another party (contractor: outfitter or subcontractor) with
work/purveyance and labour/services within the Fortezza da Basso in the occasion of the ART 2015
event.
In the case that the "Commissioning party" executes activities and /or work using workers from its
own business, it shall also be considered "contractor".
2. DEFINITIONS
COMMISSIONING PARTY (COMMISSIONER): a commissioner, that is, the subject responsible
for the realization of an exhibition/fair event.
BUILDING CONTRACTS AND LABOUR CONTRACTS
The building contract or labour contract is a contract in which a subject (commissioner) engages a
businessperson (contractor) to complete a job or a service in exchange for an amount of money.
The businessperson (contractor), in order to complete the commissioned job or service, must:
organize the necessary means (direct workers employed by him/her with no interference from
the commissioner as to the actual manner in which the work is carried out);
bear the risk of the undertaking (answer for the final result before the commissioner
(commissioning party).
BUILDING CONTRACTS
A building contract is a CONTRACT where one party (contractor) bears, by organizing the necessary
means and bearing his own risks, the obligation to carry out labour or service for someone else
(commissioner) in exchange for money. Under Italian law, building contracts are regulated by articles
1655, and subsequent, of the Civil Code.
5
LABOUR CONTRACTS
A labour contract is a CONTRACT in which one party promises to carry out a job or service, not as
an employee and mainly on his own, for another party for an amount of money. Under Italian law,
labour contracts are regulated by articles 2222, and subsequent, of the Civil Code.
READIED AREAS
Ares where stands have been completely or partly set-up, as requested by the exhibitor, by
contract companies or self-employed workers who have contracted directly with the commissioner.
The exhibitor, within the limits of the building contract, will complete set-up (where necessary) of
the stand using his/her own personnel.
BARE AREAS
Areas supplied only with electricity, intended for stands which have not yet been set-up. The
exhibitor, in observance of the present DUVRI, will set-up his/her stand him/herself using his own
businesses (where necessary).
BUILDING CONTRACT COMPANIES AND SELF-EMPLOYED WORKERS
Various types of building contract companies and self-employed workers may be present which are
defined as follows:
BUILDING CONTRACT COMPANIES AND SELF-EMPLOYED WORKERS (CONTRACTED
DIRECTLY BY THE COMMISSONER) Those who have a building contract with the commissioner to
setup the READIED AREAS.
BUILDING CONTRACT COMPANIES AND SELF-EMPLOYED WORKERS (exhibitors) Those who
do not have a building contract with the commissioner, as the work and supplying of materials or
services has been commissioned directly by the EXHIBITOR of the stand who has for this purpose
purchased a BARE AREA provided only with a source of electricity.
WORKER
All workers, except for the employees of the commissioner, shall be considered, for the purposes of
health and safety in the workplace as regards the event, as members of a building contract company
or self-employed workers.
Art.2 DLgs n.81/08 and s.m.i. definition «worker»: a person who carries out work, under whatsoever
type of contract, in the organization of a public or private employer, with or without pay, even for
the sole purpose of learning a job, craft or profession, excluding those who work for a household.
The following are the equivalent of workers so defined : a member of a cooperative or firm, also de
facto, who works for the firm or entity itself; a partner as per articles 2549(N), and subsequent, of
the Civil Code.

and hierarchic powers, which are adequate to the nature of the responsibility s/he is charged with,
guarantees the execution of the directives received from the employer, organizing and overseeing
the work;
WORK AREA SUBJECT OF THE DUVRI
The event shall be regulated by the present DUVRI document.
The EXHIBITORS who have purchased "BARE AREAS", and therefore a work area for their
exclusive use, may need to draw up an integration to the DUVRI (see art. 26 of D.lgs. 81 of 2008 and
s.m.i.), and be ready to present it to the Appointed Controllers in the case that for the exhibition
space, or its management, they need to employ companies and/or self-employed workers
(subcontractors). In compliance with art. 26 D.lgs. 81/08 and s.m.i. and Decreto Palchi, they must
also verify the technical-professional competence of the businesses and/or self-employed workers
employed to setup, including any foreign businesses present.

II) Criteria adopted for estimation (measurement) and evaluation (judgement) of risks.
This risk evaluation method refers to regulation BS 8800:2004 (also mentioned in OSHAS 2007),
which also provides interesting ideas regarding how to evaluate risks, or more precisely, the process of
evaluating risks (risk assessment).
There is a fundamental distinction, marked by the regulation, between the concepts of estimation and
evaluation.
According to this regulation, in the process of risk assessment (evaluation of risk), “analysis” and
“evaluation” must constitute two distinct phases; analysis (which includes the identification and the
estimation of the risks) is necessary to provide information regarding quantity, which is then used in
the subsequent phase of evaluation.
The new T.U. and related decrees have indicated criteria for evaluation (judgement) and estimation
(measurement) for only some types of risks, for example, the evaluations indicated in DM 10-3-1998
for fire risk and in art. 224 of the T.U. for risks deriving from the use of dangerous substances, or
the estimations of levels or amounts relative to physical risks.
ESTIMATION
For the estimation of risks, where no criteria or quantifications have been established by law, the use
of asymmetric estimation tables (table 1) conforming to BS 8800:2004 instead of the usual symmetric
risk tables has been predetermined, for which completely comparable results are obtained by
confronting risks with low probability and high magnitude and risks with high probability and low
magnitude.
Table 1 – Table for the calculation of risk estimation (reference BS 8800:2004).

EVALUATION
The subsequent phase of risk evaluation has been conceived so as to obtain a judgement regarding the
analysed risk which will be used to determine if security measures may have to be implemented and
though the amount of risk estimated in the analysis phase will be taken into consideration, these
security measures will also be based on considerations such as the cost-benefit ratio of any possible
measures considering that, theoretically, a further reduction in risk is always possible.
10
This does not mean that continuous improvements should not be made, but rather, that it is reasonable
to consider a risk “acceptable” if it does not engender serious damage and if reducing it further would
require disproportionate investments in resources (human, economic, organizational), or, consider an
estimated high risk as “tolerable” if carefully considered safety measures have been taken as, for
example, in the case of maintenance operations that require the disactivating of security systems on
machines or electrical work performed on high tension wires.
The results of the estimations have been translated into the following assessments or evaluation of
risk, as per and in compliance with BS 8800:2004.
Unacceptable Risk:
Risk such that, regardless of the advantages obtainable, it is forbidden to carry out work.
Tolerable Risk:
Risk that is acceptable if precautions are taken to reduce the risk to the minimum level reasonably
obtainable (programming of reduction and/or adequate control measures)
Acceptable Risk:
Risk that is either inherently insignificant or becomes so by applying prescribed safety measures.
This criterion of judgement (according to the BS 8800:2004) permits a comparison between “normed”
and “non-normed” risks for the purpose of establishing which safety measures should be planned, and
also permits the planning of measures to reduce risk or to control it in a homogeneous manner taking
into consideration priorities.
In table 2, the correlation between estimation of risk and evaluation of risk is displayed.

deriving from interference. Please note that the commissioner pays all costs relative to safety on
his/her own job site as provided for in D.Lgs. no.81/08.
The estimate must be fair and per single item, job or size (not, therefore, in percentage), and refer
to a standard or specialized list of prices, or be based on official price lists valid in the interested
area, or the price list for safety measures of the commissioner; in the case that there is no
applicable or available price list, reference shall be made to a complete analysis of costs deduced
from market surveys. The single cost items for safety must be calculated considering their cost of
use for the interested purveyance or service which includes, when applicable, set-up and dismantling,
and any maintenance or depreciation.

1.11 ORGANISATION OF EMERGENCY SERVICES
ORGANIZATION OF THE EMERGENCY SERVICE
The Emergency Service comprises:
employees of the Emergency Service (ASE);
supervised by a Person in Charge of the Emergency Service (RSE).
At the Fortezza, an Emergency Squad is present comprised of the personnel of the company which runs/maintains the
utility systems (whose employees are trained according to DM 10.03.98 – high risk).
During events and fairs, this Emergency Squad is complemented by one or more squads from the same external
company; moreover, if it is considered necessary according to the size of the event, one or more Fire Department
squads may also be present, to whom a room with a phone is assigned in the Fortezza da Basso at Palazzina
Lorenese, Liceo or Magazzino 07.
All the other personnel, including the First Aid staff, are considered to be auxiliaries to the Emergency Service
(ASE Collaborators), with duties as follows.
During events, a medical doctor is present in the infirmary to aid workers and visitors.
Upon request by the organizers of events and fairs, the management of the structure will engage a Volunteer
Association (Misericordia, Red Cross, Pubblica Assistenza, etc.) to be present to provide First Aid.
It must be remembered that the surveillance company employees are trained according to the indications in DM
10.03.98 – medium risk, as well as in First Aid and assistance to handicapped persons.
In the temporary absence of the Person in Charge, emergency operations will be undertaken as
follows.
ATTENTION: DELEGATION OF THE FUNCTIONS OF THE PERSON IN CHARGE OF
EMERGENCY SERVICES (RSE)
In an emergency, it is essential that it always be clear who is in charge of the operations described in the
following plan which are normally under the jurisdiction of the Person in Charge of the Emergency Service (RSE).
For this reason, in the absence of the RSE, the ASE worker on duty with the highest level contract, or with the
longest record of service in the case that there is more than one at the same level, will act in his/her stead in the
case of an emergency of any level up to evacuation

2. EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT BY TYPE
2.1 - ELECTRICALBLACK-OUTS
ELECTRICAL BLACK-OUTS ( internal/external causes )
Probability of happening
Possible emergency characteristics
Very improbable: a general BLACK-OUT due to internal causes
of the FORTEZZA DA BASSO, having considered the
characteristics of the electrical systems.
All the buildings are equipped with emergency lighting that comes on
automatically in the case of a black-out and which guarantees
sufficient light to safely remain in the building.
Probable: a brief BLACK-OUT due to external malfunctioning of
ENEL.
Various electrical utilities may however cease to work depending
on the size of the black-out, especially elevators and utility
services.
ENEL usually announces beforehand if the electricity will be
cut off for any length of time.
Consider that the expected emergency lighting autonomy is 60 minutes

must find the cause of an ELECTRICAL BLACK-OUT:
If it is due to an external ENEL malfunction :
- t h e y m u s t o b t a i n i n f o r m a t i o n r e g a r d i n g the expected duration of the malfunction using the
phone number displayed at the guard hut using a land line or a mobile phone.
- they must consider whether the BLACK-OUT involves or will involve nighttime and if necessary, they
must alert the Emergency Service squad so that visitors can be reassured when the autonomy of
the emergency lighting comes to an end
- when it is uncertain whether the BLACK-OUT will last beyond the autonomy of the emergency
lighting at nighttime, they must summon external emergency help
If it is due to an internal malfunction:
- they must try to find the cause including trying to reset the circuit breakers and if this doesn't work,
they must summon the personnel charged with electrical maintenance as soon as possible
- they must follow the same instructions as in the preceding case of a BLACK-OUT.
When the electricity returns or the failure is repaired:
- they must reactivate the disconnection buttons and check to see that everything works properly again,
particularly the elevators
In the case of a pre-announced ELECTRICAL BLACK-OUT due to ENEL, they must phone the elevator
maintenance company so that it can shut down the elevators before the event and put notices on the elevator
doors specifying the period for which they will be OUT OF ORDER.
2.2 - FLOODING
FLOODING

original container of the product for examination by health workers.
3. EVACUATION PROCEDURES
3.1 – ORGANIZATION OF THE EVACUAZIONE
Evacuation will begin spontaneously with the sounding of the acoustic alarms or the lighting up of the visual
alarms distributed in the various zones.
When an alarm is actuated, the building involved will be evacuated. If the emergency (especially for fire) is
expected to involve adjacent areas as well, those areas or the entire complex of the Fortezza da Basso will be
evacuated.
This process will be coordinated according to the development of the fire or other event, and will entail having
visitors and the other persons present exit using the pathways that are the farthest from the critical zone.
The posted EXIT DIAGRAMS facilitate comprehension of the best emergency exits to use in the various zones.
3.2 – EVACUATION OBJECTIVE
To have all workers and visitors leave the risk zone gradually and safely to go toward the
external GATHERING AREAS.
3.3 – EVACUATION PROCEDURES

1.
Handicapped VISITORS closest to the fire/event zone about to be filled with smoke
2.
Independent VISITORS closest to the fire/event zone about to be filled with smoke
3.
-
VISITORS in less dangerous positions
at the end of operations, proceed to count all personnel on shift and visitors to verify that no one is still in
the evacuated area.
At the same time, upon orders of the Person in Charge, the surveillance personnel at the guard hut or Firenze
Fiera personnel in their offices will summon:
- the Fire Department if not already summoned (115)
- external emergency health care services (118)
- company personnel on call (telephone n° displayed at the guard hut)
In the case of fire, if it is completely extinguished within a brief space of time, the alarm can be turned off and
evacuation suspended, reassuring all those present. If on the contrary, the fire is expected to spread into
adjacent areas, these areas or the entire Fortezza da Basso complex must be evacuated.
HANDICAPPED VISIITORS :
In most cases, the external surveillance company personnel know that handicapped persons are present during events, fairs, etc.
and are trained to assist them. In the case of an emergency, the emergency staff is advised of the presence of handicapped
persons.

Per accertare la conformità ai requisiti di classificazione richiesti, devono essere allegati, per ciascuno
dei materiali utilizzati, i documenti elencati nei successivi articoli da 18 a 20 incluso.
ART. 18 - MATERIALI IGNIFUGHI ALL’ORIGINE.
I materiali ignifughi sono tutti quei materiali la cui caratteristica di resistenza al fuoco è determinata
durante la produzione.
Al fine di poter verificare tale caratteristica dovrà essere consegnata la seguente documentazione:
a) Copia del Certificato di Omologazione del materiale, rilasciato dal Ministero dell'Interno al
produttore del materiale;
b) Dichiarazione di conformità del materiale al prototipo omologato firmata dal venditore del
materiale;
c) Dichiarazione da parte dell'Utilizzatore finale, che nell'allestimento del proprio stand e/o spazio
espositivo-congressuale è stato usato quel materiale (Modulo C).
ART. 19 - MATERIALI CON CERTIFICAZIONE AD HOC.
Il Certificato di Reazione al Fuoco può assumere la forma di certificazione “ad hoc” rilasciata, da
parte di un laboratorio autorizzato dal Ministero dell’Interno, all'utilizzatore stesso
Per certificazione “ad hoc” si intende una certificazione di prova non ai fini dell'immissione sul mercato,
ai sensi dell'art. 10 del D.M. 26.06.84.
In questo caso sono necessari:
a) Copia del Certificato “ad hoc” del materiale, rilasciato dal laboratorio autorizzato;
b) Dichiarazione di conformità al prototipo del materiale utilizzato firmata dall’Utilizzatore finale;
c) Dichiarazione da parte dell'Utilizzatore finale, che nell'allestimento del proprio stand e/o spazio
espositivo-congressuale è stato usato quel materiale (Modulo C).
ART. 20 - MATERIALI IGNIFUGATI A POSTERIORI:
1) I materiali ignifugati a posteriori sono quei materiali la cui caratteristica di resistenza al fuoco viene
modificata mediante l’applicazione di prodotti vernicianti ignifughi. Devono, quindi, essere presentati a
Firenze Fiera i seguenti documenti:
a) Dichiarazione, da parte di chi ha effettuato il trattamento di ignifugazione, in cui viene indicata la
data nella quale è avvenuta l'ignifugazione e il rispetto, delle condizioni di applicazione imposte dal
produttore del prodotto ignifugante, riportate nella scheda tecnica della vernice. Allo scopo deve
essere usato il (Modulo D). Si specifica, comunque, che il trattamento è ritenuto valido al massimo
per 6 (sei) mesi;
b) Copia della Dichiarazione del Produttore del prodotto ignifugante (Certificato Pilota), in cui sono
riportate le condizioni di impiego e posa in opera;
c) Copia del Documento di trasporto o fattura che documenti l'acquisto, da parte di chi ha effettuato
il trattamento, del prodotto ignifugante;
10
d) Dichiarazione, da parte dell'Utilizzatore finale, che nell'allestimento del proprio stand e/o spazio
espositivo-congressuale è stato usato il materiale ignifugato (Modulo C).
Per trattamenti con prodotti previsti dal D.M. 06.03.92, la validità del trattamento, se compiuta a
regola d’arte, è di cinque anni dalla data del trattamento stesso; tali vernici possono essere impiegate
solo su materiali legnosi compatti ad esclusione quindi di:

materiali impiallacciati con tranciati o sfogliati di legno mediante collanti a base di resine di tipo
termoplastico;

assemblati a struttura cellulare o listellare, includenti cavità d’aria o riempiti con materiali di
natura eterogenea.
2) Non hanno alcuna validità le dichiarazioni di ignifugazione compilate in maniera diversa da quella
sopra descritta.
ART. 21 – OSSERVANZA DI NORME E REGOLAMENTI.
1) Fermo
restando
quanto
previsto
dal
presente
Regolamento
è
prescritta l’inderogabile
osservanza di tutte le norme e leggi vigenti in materia di prevenzione incendi.
2) Firenze Fiera si riserva la facoltà di prelevare dei campioni dei materiali utilizzati nell’allestimento
ritenuti “non idonei” per inviarli a un laboratorio autorizzato al fine di verificarne la rispondenza alla
normativa di prevenzione incendi.
3) In caso di parziale inosservanza dei requisiti di conformità al regolamento, per quanto attiene la
reazione al fuoco dei materiali, Firenze Fiera si riserva di valutare la possibilità di autorizzare
l'Utilizzatore finale ad operare nel proprio stand e/o spazio espositivo congressuale in deroga a quanto
sopra riportato.
Tale possibilità è comunque subordinata all'adozione di misure alternative ed
equivalenti di sicurezza e prevenzione incendi che vanno concordate con i responsabili incaricati da
Firenze Fiera e con il comando dei Vigili del Fuoco.
Eventuali maggiori oneri economici che dovessero derivare dall'adozione di tali misure, saranno
addebitati all’Utilizzatore finale o, in caso di suo inadempimento, all’Organizzatore.
