Before a completed project can be used or occupied, the owner and appointed Qualified Person may need to obtain a Fire Safety Certificate (FSC) or, where allowed, a Temporary Fire Permit (TFP). A&A Projects helps commercial and industrial project teams coordinate the QP documents, RI Inspection Certificates, Form 1 / Form 2 flow, CORENET 2.0 application preparation, and SCDF follow-up items required for the FSC / TFP route.
The FSC / TFP stage comes after approved fire safety works are completed, inspected, certified, and prepared for SCDF application through the appointed QP.
A Fire Safety Certificate applies when fire safety works have been fully completed and the required certifications are ready for submission. The owner and appointed QP must obtain the FSC before using or occupying the premises where the requirement applies.
A Temporary Fire Permit may be considered where the fire safety works have been satisfactorily completed with only very minor outstanding issues. The TFP allows limited use before the FSC is obtained, subject to SCDF's assessment and project conditions.
A&A Projects coordinates the submission documents, consultant certifications, RI appointment records, inspection certificates, and rectification follow-up items before the QP proceeds with the application route.
SCDF lists several documents that may be needed for Fire Safety Certificate or Temporary Fire Permit processing. The exact requirement depends on the project scope, approved plans, fire safety works, and SCDF response.
We coordinate the owner, tenant, project manager, appointed QP, RI, consultants, and contractors during the final certification stage.
We review the project status, approved plan references, RI inspection progress, consultant certifications, and missing documents so the QP-led FSC / TFP path can move with fewer delays.
We coordinate the document handover to the appointed QP, track application-related information, and manage follow-up communication where SCDF requests clarification or additional documents.
If SCDF or the RI raises issues, we help track responsibility, coordinate rectification updates, and organise revised information for the QP and project stakeholders.
Common questions about FSC, TFP, RI certificates, QP application, CORENET 2.0, and SCDF follow-up.
A Fire Safety Certificate confirms that the completed fire safety works for the project have met the requirements for the applicable use or occupation route. The owner and appointed Qualified Person must obtain the FSC before using or occupying the premises where the requirement applies.
A Temporary Fire Permit may allow the owner to use the premises for a limited period before the FSC is obtained. It is only considered where fire safety works have been satisfactorily completed with only very minor outstanding issues.
The application should be made only after the fire safety plans have been approved and the works have been completed in accordance with SCDF requirements. An RI Inspection Certificate is also required before the application route proceeds.
After the project is completed, the appointed Qualified Person applies on behalf of the owner. The application is submitted electronically through CORENET 2.0.
Yes. An Inspection Certificate issued by a Registered Inspector is required. Depending on the project, RI(A), RI(M&E), or both may be needed.
Common documents include the FSC / TFP application form, Certification for Fire Safety Works, RI Inspection Certificates, RI Inspection Report, RI appointment letter, RFSP declaration, and other project-specific certifications where applicable.
SCDF states that it responds within 3 working days of an application. Some applications may also be selected for SCDF inspection, normally within 10 days of application.
A&A Projects acts as the QP coordination and submission team for the final FSC / TFP stage. We prepare and coordinate plans, documents, RI certificate records, consultant inputs, and the CORENET 2.0 submission workflow for SCDF Notice of Approval and Fire Safety Certificate application where applicable. SCDF issues the FSC or TFP where requirements are met, while the appointed QP and RI retain their statutory duties.
At the final stage of our work, A&A Projects prepares and coordinates the approved plans, NOA records, RI inspection status, Form 1 / Form 2 records, consultant certifications, project completion status, and target occupation date so the QP-led CORENET 2.0 application route can proceed with fewer missing items.
Use official SCDF resources to verify the current Fire Safety Certificate, Temporary Fire Permit, Registered Inspector, Fire Code, and plan approval requirements. Project-specific interpretation should be checked with the appointed QP, RI, and relevant consultants.
Note: A&A Projects coordinates the QP document flow, plan preparation, CORENET 2.0 submission workflow, site-readiness records, and project follow-up. The appointed Qualified Person and Registered Inspector remain responsible for their statutory duties, and SCDF issues the FSC or TFP where requirements are met.
