German standards and regulations for

Fire on stage

Building regulations

VStättV (local building regulations for assembly places)

Escape routes

Fire safety guard

Which materials may be used where (decoration)

DIN EN 13501-1 and

Types of regulations we just saw:


VStättV (local building regulations for assembly places)

DIN standard

EN standard

DGUV (accident prevention regulations published by the German Social Accident Insurance institutions)

But how can we find out?

Is the list complete?

Where can we get help to understand the structures

ADVANCED KNOWLEDGE Situation in Europe 1-Regulations 2-Standardization


劇場建築師



1 Regulations in Europe


劇場建築師



Basis for EU laws: 2 primary Treaties

Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU)

Scope of the EU's authority to legislate

Principles of law (no conflict of laws within EU)

dark blue: EU member states

light blue:Non-EU states which participate in the internal market with exceptions

Important: Free movement of goods


劇場建築師



Legal basis for the enactment of directives:

Article 288

To exercise the Union's competences, the institutions shall adopt regulations, directives, decisions, recommendations and opinions.

A regulation shall have general application. It shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

A directive shall be binding, as to the result to be achieved, upon each Member State to which it is addressed, but shall leave to the national authorities the choice of form and methods.

A decision shall be binding in its entirety upon those to whom it is addressed.

Recommendations and opinions shall have no binding force.


劇場建築師



Directives give member states the intended outcome

Directives need to be transposed into national law
