How will I know if a building has some performance-based design elements to its Fire Safety Design?
The SCDF file references associated with the building can give an indication as to whether the building has performance-based design elements. Performance-based submission plans will be given references with the 3rd letter as a capital F e.g. RBF/xxxxxxxxx/04, CBF/xxxxxxxxx/04, DBF/xxxxxxxxx/04, RFF/xxxxxxxxx/04, CFF/xxxxxxxxx/04, DFF/xxxxxxxxx/04. Apart from the file reference, the approved submission plans would also have declaration endorsements from both the QP and the FSE.
