- Fire Alarm Systems

Design | Installation | Commissioning and Handover | Maintenance | Market Requirements

SSAIB operates a modular certification scheme for providers of fire alarm and detection systems. The scheme was designed for organisations involved in one or more of the following areas:

• Design
• Installation
• Commissioning and Handover
• Maintenance

The modular approach allows more than one organisation to be involved in providing the system. It enables a certificate to be issued for the whole system, based on modular certification by providers of each module.  This approach was developed to reflect the way the way in which the fire detection and alarm industry operates.

SSAIB operates this scheme under licence from BAFE, in accordance with their standard SP 203. The aim of the modular approach is to ensure that providers gain certification for those modules in which they can demonstrate appropriate levels of competence, process control and adequate resources.
