Fire Clearance Certificates
Ensuring Your Building Meets Critical Safety Standards
Meeting Emergency Services Requirements
A Fire Clearance Certificate is a non-negotiable requirement for ensuring the safety of a building's occupants and the public. Issued by the local Emergency Management Services (EMS), this certificate confirms that all aspects of your building's fire protection system—from the design and layout to the installation of equipment—are fully compliant with national safety standards (SANS 10400-T).
The process involves a detailed review of your fire plans by the fire department, followed by a rigorous on-site inspection. Any deviation from the approved plans or safety codes will prevent the certificate from being issued, potentially halting your project or business operations.

We manage the submission of your fire plans, coordinate directly with EMS officials to schedule inspections, and ensure all necessary documentation is in place. Our goal is to streamline the path to compliance, helping you secure your Fire Clearance Certificate efficiently.
