Fire and Emergency NZ: evacuation schemes for commercial buildings

regulation.nz Editorial, Regulatory Guides

Fire and Emergency New Zealand approves evacuation schemes for specified buildings — care homes, hotels, large workplaces. Schemes cover alarms, training drills and disabled evacuation planning.

Building consent and FENZ requirements intersect; neither replaces the other. Insurance assessors ask for both after incidents.

Compliance officers can issue notices requiring scheme updates when use changes.
