FIA compliance portal simplifies certification for fire safety professionals
The Fire Industry Association (FIA) has launched a web-based platform designed to support fire safety professionals and businesses in the UK.
According to the FIA, the “Compliance” portal offers tools to help users meet British Standards, including BS 5839-1.
The platform simplifies certification by providing standardised documentation, creating compliant checklists, and enabling the generation of digital certificates.
Users also benefit from a notification system that tracks regulatory updates, ensuring adherence to evolving standards.
Enhancing business efficiency with digital tools
The FIA Compliance portal is designed to address challenges such as limited resources and complex compliance processes.
Chris Tilley, Head of Commercial at the FIA, said: “The FIA Compliance portal represents our dedication to advancing fire safety by simplifying compliance and championing competency as part of the golden thread.”
The portal also includes smart templates for management systems, technical reports with automated verification, and both online and on-site consultancy support.
It caters to a wide range of industry roles, from technicians to business owners.
Supporting British Standards and certifications
The FIA Compliance portal aligns closely with BAFE SP203-1 certification requirements, which are crucial for compliance with BS 5839-1.
It assists companies in building credibility and trust by maintaining high fire safety standards.
For over 100 years, the FIA has supported its 1,200 members in navigating industry legislation and setting standards.
This latest initiative continues the organisation’s commitment to making compliance accessible for businesses of all sizes.
How businesses can access the portal
Organisations interested in improving their fire safety compliance can register for the FIA Compliance portal via the association’s official website.
