Fire Safety Certificate (FSC) Application

Section 20 of the Fire Safety Act states that it is mandatory for the owners or occupants of any public buildings like offices, shopping complexes, industrial establishments, hospitals and private residences to obtain a fire safety certificate. The certification is mainly aimed at ensuring the safety of the occupants of those buildings in the event of fire emergencies. According to the Singapore Civil Defence Force, a fire safety certificate should always be acquired before people move in or start using the property.

The issuance of the certificate is always subject to the full completion of all the required fire safety works on the building. Little known to most people is also the fact that the application for a FSC can only be done by Qualified Professionals or licensed engineers in Singapore.
