In the school register, the unknown takes four out of five rows
Romania's Ministry of Education publishes a register of school buildings and their seismic-risk classes. Of the 33,973 rows in the newest release, 28,174 are marked “Neîncadrată”, unclassified. That proves neither safety nor danger. It shows where the public record is still covered by fog.

What the file shows
The largest area of the register is still unclear
This export is neither a verdict on every school nor an independent structural assessment. It is a snapshot of information entered in SIIIR by schools. To read it correctly, separate three things: a risk class, an unclassified building record, and what the database does not tell us.
01 · Fog map
Where the class is visible, and where it is missing
Each bar is a county. The coloured part has an Rs I–Rs IV class in the export; the pale part is “Neîncadrată”, unclassified. Select a county to open its register. The order is by share of unknown records, not by seismic hazard.
This is not a seismic-hazard map. It is a map of coverage in the published record.
02 · The register
Lift a county's sheet
Search the export and see how many rows a unit has, which destinations appear, and which seismic-risk classes are recorded. Names are kept as they appear in the official file.

503 · The cut through time
The fog has thinned. It still covers almost everything
In the first published register, dated 24 February 2023, 86.9% of rows were unclassified. In the 8 May 2026 file, the share is 82.9%. That is a change in the published exports, not a perfectly comparable time series: row counts and fields changed.

04 · How to read a class
Rs I, Rs II, Rs III and Rs IV are not scores
Law 212/2022 defines four classes according to the expected response of a building under the design earthquake. “Neîncadrată” is not a fifth class. It is the export label for a row without an Rs class shown.
RS I
158Rs I · total or partial collapse possible under the design earthquake
110 classroom rows
RS II
910Rs II · major damage; user safety may be endangered
605 classroom rows
RS III
3,783Rs III · moderate damage; user safety may be endangered
2,655 classroom rows
RS IV
948Rs IV · response similar to buildings designed under current rules
948 rows in all destinations
Neîncadrată
28,174No Rs class shown in the export row
Not a fifth class
05 · Method and limits
A database is not a structural assessment
We counted rows in the official export, not unique buildings. The file is called “Export clădiri+destinații”, and the same unit can appear more than once for classrooms, a canteen, a dormitory or another destination. That is why this project speaks about rows and coverage, not an absolute number of unsafe schools.
If a unit appears as “Neîncadrată”, the useful question is: is there an expert assessment, when was it made, and where is it published? The file alone cannot answer.
