La protection contre l'incendie par l'intermédiaire des programmes de prévention ne protège pas adéquatement les musées. Bien que la protection contre l'incendie par la réduction de la quantité et de la combustibilité des matériaux de construction et la neutralisation du feu par le compartimentage sont des méthodes essentielles, l'extinction doit jouer un rôle prépondérant. 3, record 1, French, - compartimentage

Toutes ces communications doivent être protégées par des dispositifs d'obturation automatique coupe-feu; c'est ainsi que les portes coupe-feu participent au compartimentage d'un bâtiment: elles contribuent à l'isolement de locaux présentant un risque particulier d'incendie, soit par leur contenu, soit par leur affectation. Elles doivent, en conséquence présenter une certaine résistance au feu. 4, record 1, French, - compartimentage
