You should only apply for an FSC/TFP after:

• Plans for the fire safety works of the project have been approved and
• Works have been fully completed in accordance to SCDF's requirements. 

You also need an Inspection Certificate issued by a Registered Inspector (RI). Depending on the type of project, a RI (Architecture) and a RI (M & E) may be needed. Owners must engage RIs to inspect and certify the fire safety works of their project before applying to SCDF for an FSC/TFP.

To appoint Registered Inspectors, a letter of appointment must be completed by the owner and RI. If the form is signed by a representative for the owner, a company stamp is also required. 

If the owner ends the services of a RI and appoints another RI, then a letter of relinquishment of the first RI has to be submitted to SCDF as well as a new letter of appointment.

After the project is completed, the QP must apply on behalf of the owner. No fee is charged for the application of a TFP/FSC. The TFP/FSC application has to be submitted electronically (on-line) through the CORENET system.

You need to submit the following documents:

• TFP/FSC application form
• Certification for Fire Safety Works
• Certification for Lift Installation and Operation
• Certification for Fire Engine Access Road and Accessway
• RI Inspection Certificates (Form 1 and 2)
• RI Inspection Report
• Letter of Appointment for RI
• Declaration of Regulated Fire Safety Products

Other forms of certification that may be needed to process the application are to be submitted to SCDF only if specifically requested after the application has been made.

Your FSC application through the CORENET system will then be processed in SCDF computer system. SCDF will respond within 3-working days of an application. All communication is done electronically through the CORENET system including sending an FSC/TFP. 

If an application is rejected, the QP must comply with the instructions and re-submit. You can check the status of your application here after 3-working days.

*Note: Applications may also be selected for an inspection by SCDF. The inspection is normally carried out within 10 days of the application. If there are problems found during the inspection, the QP must make the changes and re-submit the application for FSC.

Owners of premises must keep their Fire Safety Certificates in a safe place once they have been issued. They are needed for future reference and may also have to be produced during checks made by SCDF staff.

Please note that if you intend to install LPG manifold systems in your premises, you must first ensure that an FSC has already been obtained. You can then submit another application to obtain an FSC for LPG installation.
