Event details

Designed for fire safety professionals, installers, maintainers, consultants, and responsible persons seeking to improve their understanding of the BAFE SP203-1 Fire Detection and Fire Alarm Systems Scheme. The scheme provides independent third-party certification of competence for organisations undertaking the design, installation, commissioning, and maintenance of fire detection and fire alarm systems.

During this session, we will explore the key requirements of the scheme, the importance of demonstrating competence, and how organisations can ensure compliance with relevant standards, including BS 5839-1. Participants will gain practical insights into scheme modules, common audit findings, documentation requirements, and best practices that support quality and regulatory compliance.

Objectives:

  • Understand the structure and requirements of BAFE SP203-1.
  • Learn how third-party certification demonstrates competence and due diligence.
  • Review the roles of design, installation, commissioning, and maintenance within compliant fire alarm systems.
  • Explore common areas of non-compliance and how to prepare for certification assessments.
  • Gain practical guidance on documentation, competency records, and ongoing compliance.

All attendees will receive a CPD certificate.
