Companies both large and small are able to become BAFE registered.
To become registered with BAFE you first need to decide which of our scheme(s) would be suitable for your company (we would recommend that you look at the scheme documents to see if they are suitable and how closely you already meet the requirements):
For companies looking to join BAFE who provide fire extinguisher servicing and maintenance and employ at least one fire extinguisher technician you would look at the SP101 scheme.
Companies must also have at least one fire extinguisher technician who has passed the recognised exam issued by BAFE, IFEDA or BFC:
‘Theory and practice of servicing portable fire extinguishers in accordance with the requirements of BS 5306 Parts 3 and 8’
These technicians must also be assessed by BAFE for the organisation and the technician to gain BAFE SP101 registration.
For more information and a full step by step process on how to become BAFE registered to this scheme please visit the SP101 scheme page.
For companies looking to join BAFE who provide fire detection and alarm systems you would look at the SP203-1 scheme. This scheme contains four modules:
You are able to become certified in one, two, three or all four of these modules depending on what your company offers to the end user.
For more information and a full step by step process on how to become BAFE registered to this scheme please visit the SP203-1 scheme page.
For companies looking to join BAFE who provide emergency lighting systems you would look at the BAFE SP203-4 scheme. Like the fire detection and alarm systems scheme this also contains four modules: design, installation, commissioning and maintenance. You are able to become certified in one, two, three or all four of these modules depending on what your company offers to the end user.
For more information and a full step by step process on how to become BAFE registered to this scheme please visit the SP203-4 scheme page.
For companies looking to join BAFE who provide fixed gaseous fire suppression systems you would look at the SP203-3 scheme. Like the other SP203 schemes this also contains the four modules: design, installation, commissioning and maintenance. You are able to become certified in one, two, three or all four of these modules depending on what your company offers to the end user.
For more information and a full step by step process on how to become BAFE registered to this scheme please visit the SP203-3 scheme page.
For companies looking to join BAFE who provide fire risk assessments you would look at the SP205 scheme. A fire risk assessment is a vital and important part of fire safety law in non-domestic properties. This scheme was developed to present evidence of competency in this area of fire protection.
For more information and a full step by step process on how to become BAFE registered to this scheme please visit the SP205 scheme page.
