Municipality Moerdijk: Fire safety measures for a building

For some buildings, reporting is sufficient. This is the case for buildings in which more than 50 people stay (and where people do not sleep). A notification must also be submitted when a residential function is taken into use for room-by-room rental and if an equivalent solution is applied to a regulation referred to in chapter 6 or 7 of the 2012 Building Decree with regard to fire safety.

• You must submit the same documents as with the permit;
