Background of the Scheme

To facilitate business operations and make good use of professional and qualified human resources in the market, the Fire Services Department (FSD) propose to introduce a third-party fire safety certification scheme, namely Registered Fire Engineer Scheme to leverage professional engineers and qualified persons in the market for the provision of fire safety risk assessment and certification services. The FSD will continue to deliver fire safety risk assessment and certification services to members of the public if they so choose. The Scheme will thus offer an additional option to the market for completing the fire safety risk assessment and certification procedures, providing facilitation to both the public and businesses. The implementation of the Scheme could promote the development of the fire engineering profession.
