As we move through 2026, BOMBA (Fire and Rescue Department of Malaysia) has increased its focus on system reliability and energy integration for high-rise life safety. A BOMBA 2026 Compliant Staircase Pressurization System is no longer just about moving air; it is about precision-controlled environments that ensure clear evacuation routes while meeting the latest MS 1472 and MS 1780 updates.
EKG M&E Sdn Bhd provides turnkey engineering and installation to ensure your building’s Fire Certificate (FC) remains valid under the current 2026 enforcement standards.
To pass a BOMBA inspection in 2026, your staircase pressurization system must meet three critical performance benchmarks:
With all fire doors closed, the system must maintain a positive pressure of 50 Pascals (Pa) within the stairwell relative to the fire floor.
Why: This pressure acts as a physical wall, preventing toxic smoke and hot gases from leaking into the escape route.
2026 Focus: BOMBA now requires more rigorous testing of the "leakage rate" in the stairwell shaft and ducting to ensure the 50 Pa is stable and not fluctuating.
When a fire door is opened by an evacuee, the system must instantly provide an air velocity of 1.0 m/s across the opening.
Why: This "washes away" any smoke that tries to enter the stairwell during the moment the door is open.
EKG Solution: We utilize Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) that sense the pressure drop and ramp up the fan speed in milliseconds to hit the velocity target.
The pressure must never be so high that the fire door becomes too heavy to open.
The Limit: The force required to pull the door handle must not exceed 110 Newtons (N).
Control: We install and calibrate Barometric Relief Dampers (BRDs) that bleed off excess pressure to ensure safety for children and the elderly.
As a specialized M&E contractor, EKG ensures your 2026 compliance supports your building's bottom line:
TNB Energy Efficiency (Lower Operational Hz):
By ensuring your fire-rated ducting (FRL 120/120/120) is Class C Airtight, we eliminate air "bleeding." This allows your fan motors to run at lower frequencies (Hz) during mandatory weekly testing, directly resulting in a lower monthly TNB electricity bill.
EECA 2024 & 2026 Audit Readiness:
Under the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act (EECA) 2024, all mechanical systems must be optimized. Our precision-balanced systems prevent "over-blowing," ensuring your Building Energy Index (BEI) remains within green compliance levels.
Advanced FAMS Integration:
In 2026, BOMBA looks for seamless interlocking between the Fire Alarm Monitoring System (FAMS) and the mechanical fans. We provide the control logic that ensures fans activate only when and where they are needed, reducing wear and tear on the equipment.
| Feature | Standard Legacy System | EKG 2026 Compliant System |
| Control Logic | On/Off Switch | Dynamic VFD & Pressure Sensors |
| Duct Rating | Often Unrated | Mandatory 2-Hour (FRL 120/120/120) |
| Door Force | Often > 150 N | Guaranteed < 110 N |
| Airtightness | Low (Class A) | High (Class C/D Precision Sealed) |
| BOMBA FC Result | High Risk of Failure | Certified for Passing Inspection |
Total 3D BIM Coordination: High-rise shafts are congested. We utilize 3D modeling to route fire-rated ducts and position sensors with zero "clashes" against sprinklers or structural beams.
Turnkey BOMBA Submission: We perform the mandatory Pressure Differential Test, Anemometer Airflow Traverse, and Door Force Verification required for your annual Fire Certificate (FC) renewal.
Strategic Regional Support: Based in Kuala Lumpur, we provide professional audits and technical proposals for Grade-A office towers, luxury condominiums, and hospitals.
