The first question on any CHN inspection isn't about the sprinklers. It's about the Edificação Tipo — the building classification that determines which ABNT NBR standards apply before a single hydrant is tested. Get the classification right and the entire inspection runs on a defined regulatory track. Get it wrong and you're generating findings that don't map to enforceable corrective orders, which means the facility manager can dispute them, and usually does.
Riscos Especiais and the Hidden Fuel Sources
Riscos Especiais is the field that separates a competent CHN inspection from a box-checking exercise. Standard fire load calculations account for structural combustibles and declared inventory. They don't automatically capture the oxygen concentrator storage in the respiratory therapy corridor, the LPG cylinders behind the kitchen, the transformer room running at 800 kVA that the facilities team forgot to include in the last structural assessment, or the generator fuel tank that was "temporary" when it was installed in 2011 and hasn't moved since.
These are the items that change the suppression system adequacy calculation, the egress distance requirements, and the Risco Qualitativo field's honest output. An inspection record that doesn't capture them is an inspection that can't defend its findings when the CBMSP auditor asks why the automatic detection wasn't spec'd for Class B fire risk in that corridor.
The Corrective Action Chain
Não Conformidade linked to Item Estrutural, Setor, and Pavimento creates a physical address for every finding. The non-conformity that says "sprinkler system — condition deficient — Block C, third floor, endoscopy sector, east wing hydrant cabinet" can be assigned to a maintenance contractor, tracked to completion, and re-inspected on a return visit without relying on anyone's memory of where the problem was.
Sistema and Capacidade with Condição document what the system is, what it's rated for, and what its actual operational state was at the time of inspection. A hydrant rated at 40 metres of hose with 20 metres present, low static pressure, and a corroded valve is three separate Condição issues, each with its own Consequencias entry documenting what a fire event in that sector looks like with that system in its current state.
Inspetor closes the chain. Every non-conformity, every Risco assessment, every Data da Inspeção timestamp carries a named responsible party. When the facility's ANVISA licensing review comes up and the fire safety documentation is pulled, the inspection record doesn't just show what was found — it shows who found it, when, and what the qualitative risk assessment was at that moment.
Imagem with Localização Geográfica is the evidence standard. A photograph of the non-conformity, GPS-tagged, taken at the time of inspection, cannot be disputed on the grounds that the inspector misidentified the location or the condition has since changed. It's the difference between a finding that holds up and one that gets reclassified as "resolved" between inspection and corrective action audit.
