Under the Amusement Ride Safety Act (ARSA), the ride operators are to seek approval from SCDF via proper plans submission on the design and installation works for the Fire and Rescue Management System and subsequently, after an inspection by SCDF, obtain clearance in the form of a Certificate of Compliance (COC) for such completed works.
SCDF will provide the outcome within 3 working days of receipt of plans submission. If the submitted plans are incomplete or not in order, they will be rejected, and the ride operator must comply with the instructions and re-submit. Otherwise, an inspection will be scheduled, and usually takes place within 10 working days of the application.
