  • NSI BAFE SP205 Accredited (with NSI certificate of conformity for each FRA carried out)
  • Report Standards (adhering to client’s ‘Fire safety risk Assessment Standards March 2016’ document provided by the client as part of the ITT)
  • QC process (applied to FRAs as per DDS ISO9001 process)
  • Project Completion (review and client sign off at end of project)
