Latest Fire Protection System Price List: Costs, Equipment, and Important Considerations

NGÀY ĐĂNG 06/05/2026

📑 Mục lục

In reality, many investors choose low-cost fire protection (FPP) quotations - only to end up paying hundreds of millions more due to failure to meet acceptance requirements

The root cause does not lie in the equipment, but in the quotation itself - where many critical items are omitted or fail to comply with regulations such as Decree 136/2020/ND-CP and Decree 50/2024/ND-CP.

Therefore, a modern FPP quotation is no longer just a price list - it is a comprehensive technical, legal, and financial dossier.

Legal regulations directly affecting FPP quotations

Current legal framework for fire protection

Decree 136/2020/ND-CP provides detailed guidance on implementing the Fire Prevention and Fighting Law, emphasizing that all fire protection equipment must be inspected and certified before being circulated.

In 2024, Decree 50/2024/ND-CP was introduced to amend and simplify administrative procedures, particularly decentralizing approval and acceptance authority to provincial and district-level police departments.

The national standard TCVN 3890:2023 serves as a key basis for determining required fire protection systems for different types of buildings. For example:

Residential buildings with 5 floors or more
Factories with areas exceeding 500 m²

→ Must be equipped with automatic fire alarm systems and wall-mounted fire fighting systems.

Additionally, QCVN 10:2025/BCA introduces changes in the number of backup fire extinguishers, removing the previous requirement of reserving 10%, thereby reducing initial investment costs for businesses.

How decentralization affects costs

Decree 50/2024/ND-CP significantly decentralizes administrative authority:

The Fire Prevention and Rescue Police Department now only handles extremely large projects (e.g., buildings over 150m)
Most projects (Groups A, B, and C) are handled at the provincial level

This indirectly impacts pricing by:

Shortening approval timelines
Reducing project management costs
Minimizing delays and related expenses

Contractors must also consider project location to accurately estimate travel and coordination costs with local authorities.
