FOREWORD

The Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) system is prescribed by MIL-STD 3007 and provides planning, design, construction, sustainment, restoration, and modernization criteria, and applies to the Military Departments, the Defense Agencies, and the DoD Field Activities in accordance with USD (AT&L) Memorandum dated 29 May 2002. UFC will be used for all DoD projects and work for other customers where appropriate. All construction outside of the United States is also governed by Status of Forces Agreements (SOFA), Host Nation Funded Construction Agreements (HNFA), and in some instances, Bilateral Infrastructure Agreements (BIA.) Therefore, the acquisition team must ensure compliance with the most stringent of the UFC, the SOFA, the HNFA, and the BIA, as applicable.

UFC are living documents and will be periodically reviewed, updated, and made available to users as part of the Services' responsibility for providing technical criteria for military construction. Headquarters, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (HQUSACE), Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC), and Air Force \2\ Civil Engineer Center (AFCEC) /2/ are responsible for administration of the UFC system. Defense agencies should contact the preparing service for document interpretation and improvements. Technical content of UFC is the responsibility of the cognizant DoD working group. Recommended changes with supporting rationale should be sent to the respective service proponent office by the following electronic form: Criteria Change Request. The form is also accessible from the Internet sites listed below.

UFC are effective upon issuance and are distributed only in electronic media from the following source:

? Whole Building Design Guide web site .

Hard copies of UFC printed from electronic media should be checked against the current electronic version prior to use to ensure that they are current.

REVISION SUMMARY SHEET

Document: UFC 3-600-01, Fire Protection Engineering for Facilities

Superseding: This UFC supersedes UFC 3-600-01, dated 26 September 2006, Change 3 and all preceding changes.

Description of Changes: This update to UFC 3-600-01 clarifies many of the requirements in the 26 September 2006, Change 3, 1 March 2013 version, as well as updates references, and further coordinates the Services' requirements. This update also coordinated requirements with consensus standards and reorganized the document to match the organization of the IBC to make it easier to use for the Architectural-Engineering Firms. New criteria for the following were added:

? Planning Section ? Definitions ? Facilities Housing Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) or Remotely Piloted

Aircraft (RPA) ? Military Operations on Urban Terrain (MOUT) Trainers ? Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF)

Reasons for Changes: ? Planning Section is to help scope projects properly and assist in ensuring the proper funding is requested ? Definitions are to help clarify requirements ? Requirements were added for UAVs to ensure the UAVs and the facility are properly protected ? Information was added for MOUTs to ensure they have the proper protection and are not provided with unnecessary requirements. ? Requirements were added for SCIFs to ensure coordination with the security requirements.

Unification Issues:

Some criteria are Service specific as it will reference a Service UFC, FC, Instruction, or Manual.
