SSAIB offers certification for a number of Fire schemes under licence from British Approval for Fire Equipment (BAFE).
BAFE is dedicated to the development, maintenance, and promotion of Third-Party Certification Schemes for the fire safety industry. These schemes are regularly reviewed to ensure they uphold relevant standards and represent the highest levels of quality that fire safety organisations should strive to achieve.
SSAIB is a UKAS-accredited third-party certification body licensed to deliver certification against BAFE fire safety schemes. Certification by SSAIB to a BAFE Scheme, along with BAFE Registration, provides robust evidence of an organisation’s competence, including effective management and the capability of its employed personnel, in undertaking specific fire safety work.
By choosing certification through SSAIB to a BAFE Scheme, organisations demonstrate their commitment to fire safety excellence and regulatory compliance.
