FIRAS CERTIFICATION
OVERVIEW FIRAS is a UKAS accredited third-party certification scheme designed for the certification of competent installation companies (contractors) involved in the fire protection industry. Knowing that the fire protection products and systems have been installed correctly so that they perform as intended in the event of a fire gives you the confidence that the systems can be relied upon to provide an adequate level of safety. FIRAS aims to protect the fire protection industry (and it’s clients), from the consequences of having work installed by “Rogue Contractors” who carry out poor installations and work outside of standards and tested constructions. FIRAS certificated contractors are required to undergo a three stage assessment process. Only when the applicant contractor has satisfied all of these criteria is certification granted: · Assessment of office management systems · Assessment of workmanship on site for all trade disciplines for which certification is sought · Competence assessment of the contractor’s supervisory and installation employees FIRAS certificated contractors are subject to an annual audit of their offices and ongoing, random surveillance site inspections where competence and workmanship are assessed.
