Abstract: China's building fire protection code system has undergone over seventy years of development, evolving from initial reference and exploration in the early days of the nation's founding to system refinement during the reform and opening-up period, and further to the establishment of a technical regulation framework in the new era. This has resulted in a new regulatory system that integrates technical regulations with supporting technical standards. Currently, building fire protection regulations face challenges such as digital transformation and the renovation of existing buildings, necessitating continuous innovation to provide fire safety technical support for the people's aspirations toward a better life. At the same time, it is essential to expand international cooperation and offer Chinese fire protection code expertise to ensure construction fire safety for projects under the Belt and Road Initiative.

Key words: building fire code, technical regulations, general specifications, fire safety, specification system
