Abstract	A new fire safety design system, which is oriented to be a performance-based design system of buildings, was proposed to the building community of Japan based on the results of the 5 year research project of Ministry and Construction. This design is becoming popular and being increasingly used in actual fire safety designs to realize the buildings which do not comply with the existing regulations. Although the design system still has many defects so significant improvement is vital, its basic concept appears to be in the right direction. Now, the efforts are being continued to improve the design system to a self-standing design system. In this paper, the concept of the performance based fire safety design system currently addressed is outlined. -- author's abstract
