Fire extinguishers are essential safety devices
legally required in commercial and non-domestic
buildings where appropriate. Regular servicing
ensures they remain ready for use in an emergency.

As the Responsible Person or Duty Holder, it is
crucial to select a competent provider for fire
extinguisher services. SSAIB offers third-party
certification to the BAFE SP101 scheme, assessing
the competency of fire extinguisher organisations
and technicians in:

• Fire extinguisher selection and supply
• Correct siting and installation
• Commissioning of new extinguishers
• Routine servicing and maintenance

Certified companies must demonstrate ongoing
competency in these areas, ensuring compliance
with relevant fire safety legislation and standards.
