Fire Certificate Renewal
When constructing or moving into a new building, obtaining a Fire Certificate (FC) is mandatory in order to ensure that all fire safety measures and systems in place are tested in accordance to Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) Fire Code.
As your one-stop service centre, our team of dedicated professionals can assist you with the FC application process, from conducting FC tests of all fire safety measures and systems by our Professional Engineers (PEs) to the issuance of inspection forms.

- Issuance of the necessary endorsed forms by PE if all systems are in good working condition
- Submission of forms to SCDF
- Renewal of FC when required
