DOE-STD-1088-95

1. SCOPE

This Standard provides fire protection criteria applicable to the design, construction, and location of

relocatable structures as defined herein. It also addresses fire extinguishing methods and general

safeguards. The provisions of this Standard apply to the following:

All departmental elements as delineated in the scope of DOE 5480.7A, "Fire Protection."

The purchase and lease, as well as the design and construction, of all relocatable structures

acquired or initially installed after the effective date of this Standard.

Other "temporary" or "non-permanent" structures that are not encompassed by other DOE

criteria such as DOE 6430.1A, "General Design Criteria." This includes relocatable structures

that are fixed or anchored to a permanent or temporary foundation constructed in accordance

with the Uniform Building Code, applicable local building code, or industry standard as part of

their siting.

Existing relocatable structures (including structures repositioned from one site location to

another) when a fire hazard analysis demonstrates conditions that represent a significant risk

to the health and safety of the public or site personnel as determined by the DOE Authority

Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).

Existing relocatable structures which, if lost due to fire, would result in an unacceptable

program impact.

This Standard does not apply to relocatable structures that will remain in place for no more than 180

days onsite and that do not contain significant fire hazards and have no programmatic importance or

significant value, as determined by the cognizant fire protection engineer.

Modifications made to existing portable structures should be performed in accordance with this

Standard. Site-specific interpretations of the provisions of this Standard should be the responsibility of

the DOE AHJ.
