London, Wednesday 20th November 2024 - The Fire Industry Association (FIA), Europe’s largest fire protection trade association, is proud to announce the launch of FIA Compliance, an innovative web-based platform designed to revolutionise fire safety compliance for businesses across the fire safety industry.

In a landscape where adhering to British Standards is both a legal obligation and a moral imperative, the FIA Compliance portal provides fire safety professionals, business owners, and industry stakeholders with a streamlined, user-friendly solution. From detector selection to commissioning, this portal ensures comprehensive and up-to-date documentation, helping users stay compliant with key standards like BS 5839-1.

The portal not only simplifies the certification process but also enhances business efficiency by providing the digital tools that organisations require when time, resource or budget does not allow. Companies can generate standardised documentation, create British Standards-compliant checklists, and issue professional, digital certificates with ease. Its dynamic notification system also keeps users informed of regulatory changes, ensuring they remain ahead in a rapidly evolving industry.

Driving Excellence in Fire Safety

"The FIA Compliance portal represents our dedication to advancing fire safety by simplifying compliance and championing competency as part of the golden thread," said Chris Tilley, Head of Commercial at the FIA. "We recognise the challenges businesses face with complex compliance requirements, and this innovative tool offers a clear, accessible path to certification and enhanced industry credibility."

The portal is backed by the FIA’s unparalleled expertise and technical guidance. Whether accessed online or through bespoke on-site consultancy, it caters to professionals at all levels, including technicians, installers, and business owners. With features like smart templates for management systems and technical reports with built-in verification calculations, the platform supports users in maintaining high standards across all fire safety operations.

A Trusted Partner in Compliance

For over a century, the FIA has been at the forefront of fire safety, representing more than 1,200 members and shaping industry standards and legislation. The compliance portal is the latest initiative in the FIA’s mission to safeguard lives and property by making compliance more accessible and manageable for businesses of all sizes.

This portal is an essential tool for companies seeking to achieve BAFE SP203-1 certification, which is critical for compliance with BS 5839-1. By using the FIA Compliance portal, businesses can enhance their reputation for safety and reliability while building trust with stakeholders and clients.
