FIRE PREVENTION MAINTENANCE

24/7 fire safety technical assistance and maintenance

Starting in 2024, even small accommodation facilities must equip themselves with certified fire extinguishers and gas or carbon monoxide detectors. This measure was created to protect guests and minimize the risks associated with fires or gas leaks, standardizing safety standards across the country. Regular maintenance of fire extinguishers and fire prevention systems is not only required by law, but is also essential to ensure consistently safe and efficient products. With Sme Antincendio, Velardi Group's maintenance division, you can count on a team of certified and qualified ICIM maintenance technicians to ensure the safety of you, your business, your employees, and your home. All fire prevention devices are required by law to be maintained in accordance with current regulations by authorized companies.

  • How much does it cost to comply with the regulation?

    The cost varies based on the size of the facility and the number of devices required. It's generally a modest expense that can be amortized over time thanks to annual maintenance contracts. Contact us for pricing information.
