The purpose of preparing the regulatory compliance report is to identify those situations that
violate both mandatory and, as the case may be, reference regulatory requirements, with regard
to the activity carried out, by means of verifications and diagnostics (facilities, processes, design
parameters, etc.). The regulatory analysis may also be performed at the project level.
The specific regulations that apply in each case will be taken as the reference regulations for the
analysis of the conditions.

· Updated scale drawings of the facilities/buildings object of the audit. In case of the drawings
being available as computer files(1), a copy thereof will be provided.
· Access to the project and project documentation. A copy of the selected portions will be
requested.
In the case that the report is not exclusively carried out on the project, a verification visit will also
be made by technical staff from ITSEMAP, and it will be required that it is accompanied by a technician
who knows the facilities to be audited (the visit may carry on for one or several days according to
the complexity of the facilities, so it is convenient to have anticipated this situation). Generally the
person responsible for maintenance of the facilities is usually the appropriate person, and in some
cases the accredited maintenance company shall be present.
The Audit Report, which will include the analysis of the condition the facilities are in, in relation with
the specific regulations, and the adequacy recommendations that must be made in order to correct
the detected deficiencies, will be prepared with the data reflected in the previous documentation
and the data obtained during the verification visit. A photographic report is included.

By simultaneously acting on each one of these broad groups, the company may gradually reduce
the risk of fire regarding both the probability and the impact.
The report classifies the improvements by priority, becoming a very interesting help tool for the
companys risk management policy.
On the other hand, given that the contents of the report are so broad, it gives the client the opportunity
to express any questions in connection with its safety. We will carry out a first assessment of the
matter, which may lead to subsequent greater advice. For example, the following may be studied:

2. Methodology
In order to obtain the greatest possible added value in this type of works it is essential to have a
great amount of information before the visit (scale drawings, the project for FP installations, emergency
plans, etc.). Said information may already exist in the insurance companys dossier or it shall be
requested from the company.
The office work, complemented with the visit to the facilities and an exhaustive interview with the
client, allows to rigorously analyze topics as disparate as: adequacy of the FP systems, emergency
plans, loss estimate (PML), or vulnerability of the company to loss of profits.
The report can have as many annexes as deemed appropriate in order to help the client have a
better knowledge of its risk.
An assessment of the safety conditions of the risk with regard to the anti-intrusion and -theft conditions,
systems and devices is envisaged as an added service to the Fire Safety Advice Report, as well
as the recommendations in this regard derived from the analysis.
With this service, any insured company may count on the opinion of a risk analysis expert, capable
of improving its security, in many cases by means of organizational improvements or through small
investments.
The quality of the final report strongly depends on the client understanding that this type of visits
are not inspections related to the underwriting, rather actions included in the continuous improvement
promoted by the risk management.

Thermography is a technique that allows to measure, by using a camera sensitive to the range of
values of the electromagnetic spectrum corresponding to the infrared, the surface temperature of
different elements. Since in the majority of cases electrical failures are preceded by the increase
of temperature at the weakest point of the installation, this technique is very useful to detect, even
months in advance, inadequate aspects that may lead to a fault with a process shutdown or a fire
at worst.

· An inspection of the physical, electrical and mechanical conditions of the element, removing
all necessary covers before the inspection and analyzing in each case the switches, mechanisms,
cables, connections, disruptors, rotary equipment or any other devices that carry an electrical
load.
· A desk research for interpreting the data provided by the thermography and, together with the
information gathered during the visual inspection, writing a brief technical report indicating:
In order to simplify the processing of the information contained in the thermographic study, a summary
chart of the detected deficiencies, sorted according to the following criteria, is shown before it:
· Grade 1: situations entailing a SERIOUS DEFICIENCY and that therefore must be IMMEDIATELY
corrected. It is usually associated with temperature differences greater than 30ºC (3) .
· Grade 2: temperature differences between 6ºC-30ºC. The recommendation will vary between
correcting as soon as possible or repairing whenever it is possible.
· Grade 3: temperature gradient lower than 5ºC. Does not require the adoption of measures,
but may indicate deficiencies and hence must be indicated in the report so that they are subject
to observation by the companys maintenance team.
This service is beginning to be offered by consulting companies worldwide, but the MAPFRE system
is the first one to provide it at no charge to its clients. The obtained results are very useful and the
technique is very novel, so they may be a tremendous help in winning over clients and boosting the
image of the insurance company. It is particularly recommended for companies that involve a special
risk, due either to the process (high fire load, explosive atmospheres, etc.) or to the building material
(flammable web sandwich panel).
(3) The temperature difference is set with regard to the temperature that is considered the normal operating temperature in the studied element, the selection of said normal temperature
being left at the discretion of the technician performing the thermography.

· Appropriate physical dimensions of the pipes (gutters, conduits, tubes, etc.).
· Suitability of the connections.
· Appropriate use of conductor colors.
· Accessibility of the ground connections (boxes, etc.).
· Connections to the ground connection of the grounds that may be directly observed.
· Appropriate dimensioning (no smaller than the allowed maximum) of the diffusers and ground
and protection conductors.
Test
1. Visual inspection to determine execution flaws existing therein, in order mainly to analyze
the appropriate protection of all lines by means of their corresponding magnetothermal
protections, which ensure that more intensity than the maximum acceptable of the conductor
cannot pass through each section, as the prolonged overheating of these lines is the main
cause of fires of electrical origin, greater even than short circuits.
2. Tests the indicated tests will be performed taking into account that some of them must be
carried out without voltage, giving priority to those tests that must protect people.
3. Recommended actions with causes, locations and solutions of the flaws found in the
installation.
All companies are potential users of this service as electricity is used in all of them; nevertheless,
it is much more recommendable in those that have a greater electricity consumption given their
activity or in those in which a significant machinery expansion has been carried out in view of the
