DOE-STD-1088-95

2. PURPOSE

This Standard supersedes DOE/EV-0043, "Standard on Fire Protection for Portable Structures," dated

August, 1979. It was revised to address the numerous types of relocatable structures, such as

trailers, tension supported structures, and tents that are being used by DOE and its contractors. This

Standard was developed because other industry criteria do not comprehensively or clearly address all

fire safety issues associated with the use of such structures by DOE.

This Standard is part of the DOE directives system and is issued to provide supplemental information

regarding the Department's expectations for fulfilling its fire safety requirements as contained in rules,

Orders, notices, and regulatory standards. This Standard provides acceptable methods for

implementing these requirements for relocatable structures.
