BAFE Registered Company

BAFE logos - Portable Extinguisher and Fire Alarm maintenanceEstablished in 1984, BAFE (British Approvals for Fire Equipment) is the independent third party registration body dedicated to improving standards in fire protection. BAFE's objective is to bring to the marketplace a single registration scheme for each product or service within the fire protection industry, for which third party accreditation has been considered appropriate. BAFE is supported by Government, Statutory Bodies, Fire and Rescue Services, Insurers and the Health and Safety Executive.

We are accredited to BAFE Schemes SP101 & ST104 (maintenance of portable fire extinguishers) and Scheme SP203 Part 1 (maintenance of fire detection and alarm systems).

Benefits of Using a BAFE Registered Company

If you are an employer or building owner / occupier you have a duty of care under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 to take the necessary steps to protect your employees and people within your building from the risk of fire. In today's society where "blame culture" is becoming the norm the need to show that you have taken "due care" is important particularly in the event of a fire incident. By specifying and using BAFE registered firms operating independent third party certification schemes you are able to show that you have exercised your "duty of care responsibilities".

The business and our service technicians are subject to ongoing assessments and we are audited annually to ensure we are achieving the necessary standards. The BAFE assessment involves on site service technician audits and a review of our quality management procedures and processes.

Many  insurance companies now specify that their business clients must use a BAFE Registered Firm for the supply and maintenance of their fire equipment.
