The BAFE SP101 Scheme Document is available via the Downloads section on this page. Please review the Scheme Document for all requirements of the Scheme.

Please note that BAFE SP101 fees are not included within the Certification Body Management System audit fees. BAFE SP101 fees are available via the Downloads section on this page.

On successful completion of the initial audit process the applicant organisation will be awarded Third-Party Certification to the scope of BAFE SP101 (Management System). Stage two shall be completed to be compliant with BAFE SP101 Scheme requirements.

Stage two requires the organisation to apply directly to BAFE for BAFE SP101 Registration and to register at least one fire extinguisher technician (note: all fire extinguisher technicians shall be required to become assessed/registered to comply with the requirements of the BAFE SP101 Scheme, but one at minimum is required to permit BAFE to issue the BAFE SP101 Scheme Registration Certificate).

BAFE SP101 organisation and technician application forms are available via the Downloads section on this page.

This process shall be completed to permit BAFE to award BAFE SP101 Scheme Registration. Failure to complete this shall be a major non-compliance highlighted on your first surveillance audit. For further information on the BAFE SP101 Scheme requirements and process, please visit the BAFE SP101 Scheme FAQs.

BAFE SP101 Registration will remain for organisations who continue to hold valid Third-Party Certification to the scope of BAFE SP101 and are compliant with the requirements of the Scheme (e.g. having all fire extinguisher technicians assessed/registered). For further information please refer to the BAFE SP101 Scheme Document.

Technicians cannot register independently to BAFE. A fire extinguisher technician requiring registration must be employed by an organisation who has achieved Third-Party Certification and BAFE Registration to the BAFE SP101 competency Scheme. If a BAFE Registered fire extinguisher technician leaves the BAFE SP101 Registered Organisation they shall lose their BAFE Registered fire extinguisher technician status with immediate effect.

Please note that BAFE Registration is not guaranteed. Please discuss any issues or concerns with your Certification Body prior to audit.
