The publication of the long-awaited standard for the assessment of fire risk assessor competency: BS 8674:2025 saw the government take significant strides towards meeting the recommendation in the Grenfell Tower Inquiry Phase 2 report to “establish a system of mandatory accreditation to certify the competence of fire risk assessors by setting standards for qualification and continuing professional development and such other measures as may be considered necessary or desirable”.
In this session, FPA Chief Executive Dr Gavin Dunn will provide an overview of BS 8674:2025 and the changes implemented to improve the competency of fire risk assessors, the level of detail and comprehension required for fire risk assessment, and why fire risk assessments need to be a holistic and active document in place throughout the lifespan of a building.
With the Government in England having confirmed that mandatory competence requirements for fire risk assessors will be introduced and independently verified by UKAS-accreditation certification bodies, Gavin will also highlight the importance of fire risk assessors having a clear route to third party certification.
