What is FIRAS Accreditation?
FIRAS accreditation is a third party certification scheme for active and passive fire protection companies can gain third party certification via the FIRAS accreditation scheme. The scheme has worked to actively improve compliance and installation standards since 1994. This assures clients whilst also improving processes within the construction industry. Requirements for FIRAS accreditations were developed in consultation with a number of regulatory bodies, including the Association of Specialist Fire Protection.
FIRAS-certified companies must conduct regular audits, showing that all installers, supervisors and technicians are not only competent in their respective fields but that their work remains 100% compliant. CLM Fireproofing are proactive in identifying areas of improvement, regularly carrying out internal audits with ‘destructive testing’. Operatives are also regularly assessed by FIRAS inspectors, which can include inspections of their installation work. This ensures that every aspect of their passive fire protection systems are of the highest possible quality.
The FIRAS Accreditation register
The FIRAS register contains the details of all certified fire protection companies, as required by the FIRAS scheme. These companies are subject to regular accreditation checks, to ensure that they remain compliant with industry standards. Companies on this register are approved by several trade associations, assuring clients that they will maintain the highest standards of installation and practical competence.
