Existing Buildings) Is there still an SREF Chapter 5 for existing schools?
Yes. The 2007 SREF (State Requirements for Educational Facilities) became effective February 12, 2008. SREF Chapter 5, Existing Facilities, has been revised to eliminate references to firesafety. Firesafety requirements are found in State Fire Marshal rule 69A-58 and the Florida Fire Prevention Code. SREF Chapter 5, and its incorporated codes addresses all other areas of safety including casualty safety, sanitation, and accessibility which are to be checked in the annual comprehensive inspections.
