Article 3.2
1. An external separating structure of a functional unit that is sensitive to industrial, road or rail noise
and that forms a separation between a habitable space and the open air has a characteristic sound
insulation determined according to NEN 5077 that is not lower than the difference between the noise
level on that separating structure determined according to the Noise Abatement Act and the limit
value for the noise level in the habitable space as prescribed in table 3.1, with a minimum of
20 dB(A).
2. An external separating structure that forms the separation between a caravan and the open air, has a
characteristic sound insulation determined according to NEN 5077 with a minimum of 20 dB(A).
3. An external separating structure that forms the separation between a habitable space and the open
air has a characteristic sound insulation determined according to NEN 5077 that is not lower than the
difference between the noise level on that separating structure determined according to the Noise
Abatement Act and 40 dB(A), with a minimum of 20 dB(A). Calculating or measuring the noise is
based on the noise level during the period from 7.00 hours to 19.00 hours.
4. If pursuant to the Noise Abatement Act in the habitable space a higher noise level is permitted than
referred to in the first and third paragraphs, the external separating structure has a characteristic
sound insulation determined according to NEN 5077 that is not lower than the difference between the
noise level on that separating structure and the noise level permitted pursuant to the Noise
Abatement Act.
5. The first, third and fourth paragraphs apply accordingly to an internal partition of a habitable space as
referred to in the first and third paragraphs, that is not the separation from an adjoining habitable
space of a different functional unit that is sensitive to industrial, road or rail noise.
6. A separating structure as referred to in the first, third, fourth and fifth paragraphs of a habitable room

Combinations of actions for load-bearing structures
Article 2.2
1. An ultimate limit state of a load-bearing structure is not exceeded at the special combinations of
actions, determined according to NEN 6702. In so far as NEN 6702 does not provide a quantification
of the combinations of actions, NEN 6700 is taken as basis.
2. Without prejudice to the first paragraph, an ultimate limit state of a roof or a floor guarding is not
exceeded at the special combinations of actions as referred to in NEN 6702. An impact load is
assumed here.
3. In deviation of the first paragraph, for the load-bearing structure of a toilet room, a bathroom, a meter
room, an installation place for a hot water appliance and an installation place for a heating appliance,
the special combinations of actions determined according to NEN 3859 can be used as basis.
4. In deviation of the first paragraph, for determining the special combinations of actions for the
foundation for a caravan, the following can be used as basis:
a. a system of actions composed of two vertical, parallel line actions each with a design value of 6.8
kN/m and a length of 15 m, situated at a distance of not less than 2.5 m and not exceeding 3 m; if
the stand is situated in a non-builtup area I, as referred to in NEN 6702, the line actions are
assumed to have a design value of 7.3 kN/m,
b. a concentrated action with a design value of 50 kN calculated as a free action as referred to in
NEN 6702, and
c. the design value of the self-weight of the foundation.
5. In deviation of the first paragraph, the special combinations of actions, determined according to NEN
3859 can be used as basis.
6. In deviation of the first paragraph, for a structure with a useful area not exceeding 50 m2, the special
combinations of actions, determined according to NEN 3859 can be used as basis.
Combinations of actions for main load-bearing structures
Article 2.3
1. Without prejudice to article 2.2, an ultimate limit state of a main load-bearing structure is not
exceeded at the special combinations of actions, as referred to in NEN 6702. This is based on:
a. a gas explosion,
b. a colliding vehicle, and
c. an extreme level of underground water table.
If NEN 6702 does not provide a quantification of the combinations of actions, NEN 6700 is taken as
basis.
2. Without prejudice to the first paragraph, it is also assumed that the contribution to the position of
stability is lost that is supplied by structure elements on an adjacent site.
Ultimate limite state
Article 2.4
1. That an ultimate limit state is not exceeded as referred to in article 2.2 is determined according to:
a. NEN 6710 or NEN 6770, if the load-bearing structure is made of metal as referred to in those
standards,
b NEN 6720 or NEN 6790, if the load-bearing structure is made of stony material as referred to in
those standards,
c. NEN 6760, if the load-bearing structure is made of timber as referred to in that standard,
d. NEN 2608, if the load-bearing structure is made of glass as referred to in that standard, or
e. NEN 6707, if the load-bearing structure is the roof covering as referred to in that standard.
2. In deviation of the first paragraph, if for a load-bearing structure the combinations of actions,
determined according to NEN 3859, are assumed, determining that an ultimate limit state is not
exceeded takes place according to NEN 3859.
3. On determining that an ultimate limit state is not exceeded as referred to in article 2.2, structures
situated on another site are left out of consideration.
4. In deviation of the third paragraph, structures of a functional unit of the same type situated at a
different site will not be left out of consideration.
5. If a different material or a different determination method has been used than indicated in the first and
second paragraphs, determining that an ultimate limit state is not exceeded as referred to in article
2.2, is determined according to NEN 6700.
Article 2.5
1. An existing structure has a load-bearing structure that is sufficiently resistant to the actions exerted
on it during the reference period referred to in NEN 6700.

requirements of a fire-free and smoke-free escape route as regard fire propagation class and smoke
production degree.
2. Without prejudice to the first paragraph, a building services room with a useful area exceeding 50 m2,
a room for storage of substances defined by order in council that are combustible, promote
combustion or cause a hazard in case of fire and a boiler room as referred to in article 4.88, fourth
and fifth paragraphs, are in a fire compartment.
3. In deviation of the first paragraph, a room through which a fire-free and smoke-free escape route
leads, is not in a fire compartment.
4. An non-enclosed habitable space lies in a fire compartment.
5. The first and fourth paragraph do not apply to a functional unit with a useful area not exceeding
1000 m2 and with a fire-load density determined according to NEN 6090 not exceeding 500 MJ/m2.
6. The first and fourth paragraph do not apply to a light industrial function with a useful area not
exceeding 50 m2, that is exclusively intended for storage of goods or materials that are not
combustible, promote combustion or cause a hazard in case of fire, as defined by order in council.

of the total useful area of fire compartment in the building containing the detention function. This does
not apply if the fire resistance determined according to NEN 6068 between a fire subcompartment as
referred to in article 2.116 where the non-communal rooms are situated and an adjacent detention
function or an enclosed non-communal room, is not less than 60 minutes. In that event, between a
non-communal habitable area of the detention function and the communal circulation room that gives
access to that area, at least 30 minutes will suffice if:
a. that communal circulation room has two access points that give access to the fire compartment or
connects to the route that leads exclusively to communal circulation rooms to an access point to
the fire compartment, and
b. the distance between these access points is not less than 5 m.

exceeding 100 m 2, that is exclusively intended for storage of goods or materials that are not
combustible, promote combustion or cause a hazard in case of fire, as defined by order in council.
7. The first and fourth paragraph do not apply to a light industrial function with a permanent fire-load
density determined according to NEN 6090 not exceeding 200 MJ/m2.
8. The first and fourth paragraph do not apply to an other functional unit with a useful area not
exceeding 100 m2, that is not intended for substances that are combustible, promote combustion or
cause a hazard in case of fire as defined by order in council.
Article 2.112
1. A fire compartment does not extend over more than one site.
2. A fire compartment of a residential building exclusively contains residential functions.
3. A fire compartment contains not more than a residential function and ancillary functions to that
residential function.
4. A fire compartment has a useful area not exceeding the limit value prescribed in table 2.110.
5. A boiler room as referred to in article 4.92, fourth paragraph, is a fire compartment.
6. A building services room with a useful area greater than 100 m2 is a fire compartment.
7. A room intended for storage of substances that are combustible, promote combustion or cause a
hazard in case of fire as defined by order in council, is a fire compartment.
8. A fire compartment containing a group of non-communal rooms, has a useful area smaller than 77%
of the total useful area of fire compartment in the building containing the detention function. This does
not apply if the fire resistance determined according to NEN 6068 between a fire subcompartment as
referred to in article 2.121 in which the non-communal rooms are situated and an adjacent detention

the fire subcompartment in which that habitable space lies, does not exceed 20 m. On determining
the walking distance, a structure element not being a load-bearing structure that lies within the
habitable space, is left out of consideration.
2. The walking distance between a spot in a communal habitable room and at least one access point to
the fire subcompartment in which that habitable space lies, does not exceed 30 m.
3. A habitable space or a habitable room has at least two access points, if:
a. that room does not contain a cooking appliance installation place and the floor area of that space
is greater than 75 m2, or
b. that room contains a cooking appliance installation place and the floor area of that space is
greater than 25 m2.

in that route has a non-ionising smoke alarm that is connected to an electricity provision and that
satisfies the primary layout requirements and the primary product requirements according to
NEN 2555.
8. The numerical value of the width of the total free passage in mm of the access points to a habitable
space or to a habitable room, is at least the numerical value of the floor area of that habitable space
or that habitable room relying on those access points in m2, multiplied by the value prescribed in table
2.145.1, with a minimum of 0.85 m for every access point.
9. When opening, the door of an access point to a habitable space or a habitable room does not turn
opposite to the escape direction, if the floor area of that habitable space or of that habitable room
relying on that access point is greater than the limit value prescribed in table 2.145.1. An escape door
cannot be a sliding door.

Article 2.151
1. The walking distance between a spot in a habitable room and at least one access point of the fire
subcompartment in which that habitable room lies, does not exceed 45 m.
2. The walking distance between a spot in a habitable room and an access point of the habitable room,
does not exceed the limit value prescribed in table 2.150.
3. The numerical value of the width of the total free passage in mm of the access points to a habitable
room is at least the numerical value of the floor area of that habitable room relying on those access
points in m2, multiplied by the value prescribed in table 2.150, with a minimum of 500 mm for every
access point.
4. When opening, the door of an access point to a habitable room does not turn opposite to the escape
direction, if the floor area of that habitable room relying on that access point is greater than the limit
value prescribed in table 2.150. An escape door cannot be a sliding door.
5. The walking distance between a spot in a room intended for storage of, or where work is carried out
with, substances that are combustible, promote combustion, cause a hazard in case of fire or that are
harmful to health as defined by order in council, and at least one access point to the room, does not
exceed 37.5 m.
6. At least one access point of a habitable room for bed-bound patients and at least one circulation
route that leads from an adjacent fire compartment to that access, have a free passage through
which a block with a length of 2.3 m, a height of 1.2 m and a width of 1.1 m can be moved forward
horizontally. This circulation route does not lead over a staircase or through a lift.
Article 2.152
1. A smoke compartment has one or more access points, with a minimum of two if the useful area of the
smoke compartment is greater than the limit value prescribed in table 2.150. At every access point, a
smoke-free escape route begins that does not coincide with a smoke-free escape route of a different
access point.
2. The numerical value of the width of the total free passage in mm of the access points to a smoke
compartment is at least the numerical value of the floor area of that smoke compartment relying on
those access points in m2, multiplied by the value prescribed in table 2.150, with a minimum of 500
mm for every access point.
escape direction, if the floor area of that smoke compartment relying on that access point is greater
than the limit value prescribed in table 2.150. An escape door cannot be a sliding door.
escape direction, if the door of an access point to a habitable space or a habitable room situated in
that compartment does not turn opposite the escape direction as referred to in article 2.151, fourth
paragraph. An escape door cannot be a sliding door.
5. In deviation of the first paragraph, if the walking distance between at least one access point to a
habitable room and an access point to the smoke compartment in which the habitable room is
situated is less than 30 m, the fire compartment, has at least one access point.
6. The walking distance between a habitable room that lies in a smoke compartment and the access to
that smoke compartment does not exceed 20 m, if that smoke compartment does not have more than
one access point.

1. A smoke-free escape route leads to the adjacent land and from there to the public road while no
doors have to be passed that require a key to be opened.
2.
In deviation of the first paragraph, a smoke-free escape route of an ancillary functional unit of a
detention function, leads to another fire compartment.
3. A smoke-free escape route leads to another fire compartment.
Article 2.155
A structure not being a building has sufficient escape routes dependent on its intended use and size.
Article 2.156
1. At the location of an access point of a smoke compartment, at least two smoke-free escape routes
begin that do not coincide anywhere except at the access point.
2. In deviation of the first paragraph, one escape route suffices if the smoke compartment has more
than one access point and at least two of the escape routes that begin at the location of those access
points do not coincide anywhere.
3. Parts of the two escape routes referred to in the first and second paragraphs may coincide in so far
as these are situated in a protected staircase.
4. The first paragraph does not apply to a smoke compartment with a total useful area not exceeding
250 m2 which does not contain a habitable room for human occupation.
5. In deviation of the first paragraph, the first sections of the two escape routes may coincide if the total
useful area of smoke compartment that relies on these sections, does not exceed the limit value
6. In deviation of the first paragraph, the first sections of the two escape routes may coincide if these
sections are a fire-free and smoke-free escape route and if the total useful area of smoke
compartment that relies on these sections, does not exceed the limit value prescribed in table 2.153.
7. Without prejudice to the sixth paragraph, the first sections of the two escape routes can only coincide
over a length that does not exceed the limit value prescribed in table 2.153. On determining the
length, the sections situated in a protected staircase are not taken into consideration.
8. The first sections of the two escape routes as referred to in the sixth paragraph, can only coincide
over a length not exceeding 20 m.
9. The height difference bridged across coinciding escape routes as referred to in the sixth paragraph,
must not exceed 12.5 m. On determining the height difference, the sections situated in a protected
staircase are not taken into consideration.
10. At the location of at least one access point of a smoke compartment, a smoke-free escape route
begins that leads to an access point of another fire compartment. The section of this escape route
that lies between the access point of the smoke compartment and the access point of the other fire
compartment, does not lead over a staircase.
11. An escape route may be a communal escape route.
Article 2.157
1. At the location of an access point of a fire subcompartment, at least two smoke-free escape routes

location of those access points do not coincide anywhere.
3. In deviation of the first paragraph, the two smoke-free escape routes may wholly or partly coincide, if
the coinciding section is not situated in a stair enclosure and is not adjacent to another fire
subcompartment.
4. In deviation of the third paragraph, the coinciding section may be adjacent to another fire
subcompartment, if:
a. the coinciding section is not adjacent to more than one other fire subcompartment,
b. the access point of the fire subcompartment and the access point of the other fire
subcompartment are directly facing each other, and
c. the coinciding section does not lead along a movable structure element, unless it is part of the
access point of the other fire subcompartment.
5. In deviation of the third paragraph, the coinciding section may be situated in a stair enclosure and
adjacent to another fire subcompartment, if:
a. the total useful area of the residential functions that rely on that stair enclosure does not exceed
