Emphasis on Implementing the Civil Defense Law and Saudi Building Code Requirements for Fire Protection Procedures
The Saudi Arabian Monetary Authority (SAMA) mandates all supervised financial institutions to review and strictly apply the Civil Defense Law and Saudi Building Code, prioritizing fire protection procedures. Institutions must engage accredited engineering offices for building inspections, maintain active safety specialist roles and equipment registers, and implement emergency response plans under dedicated security departments. Compliance requires obtaining the electronic Civil Defense license and submitting a completion certificate with an action plan to SAMA’s designated channel.
