The provisions of this section apply taking into account the classification of construction materials and elements according to their behaviour in fire, as defined in articles R. 121-1 et seq. of the Code de la construction et de l’habitation and by the orders of the Minister of the Interior issued pursuant to article R. 121-5 of this same code.
A joint order of the ministers responsible for labour, agriculture and construction defines the terms and conditions for applying the provisions of this section, in particular: 1° The characteristics of exits and the lateral isolation of the building from another building; 2° The classification of materials and construction elements for certain parts of the building; 3° Smoke extraction rules.

The Regional Director for Business, Competition, Consumption, Labour and Employment may waive part of the application of the provisions of this chapter, particularly in the case of the redevelopment of existing premises or buildings, on the basis of a proposal for compensatory measures ensuring a level of safety deemed equivalent.
The exemption is granted after investigation by the labour inspector. It is granted after receiving the opinion of: 1° The social and economic committee; 2° The central safety committee or the departmental safety and accessibility advisory committee for establishments open to the public.
If the competent minister to whom an appeal is lodged remains silent for more than four months on a decision taken in application of article R. 4216-33, the decision is deemed to have been rejected.
