Let's consider further how the organization’s fire safety declaration is drawn up. A sample document will also be presented in the article.

In these cases, experts recommend filing documentation for the maximum period permitted by law. If the enterprise does not have confidence in stable mass production, then it is more advisable to draw up a declaration for a period not exceeding one year.
