In order to further understand the differences between the local fire protection standards in the Maldives and the fire protection standards in China, combined with the engineering design examples of the Oredoo business office building project in the Maldives, the design differences of the fire protection system and facilities are compared from such 4 aspects as indoor fire hydrant system, outdoor fire hydrant system, automatic sprinkler system and building fire extinguisher configuration, and the design suggestions of fire protection system for public buildings in the Maldives are given. The results show that there are still weaknesses in some design requirements of the Maldives fire protection standards, such as the water supply pipeline of the indoor fire hydrant system is not arranged in a loop, and the water storage capacity of the fire protection pool is too small. The outdoor fire hydrant system only considers the installation of municipal fire hydrants, and the spacing between municipal fire hydrants is too large; The installation site of the automatic sprinkler system only considers industrial plants, workshops with 5～10 floors (or the building height range is 15～30m ) and group A and B plastic and rubber warehouses. The results can provide some references for similar civil construction projects in the Maldives.
