BAFE SP206 Assessment and Registration Process

A step by step process of how to become Third Party Certificated and BAFE Registered to the BAFE SP206 Design, Installation, Commissioning, Recharge and Maintenance of Kitchen Fire Protection Systems Scheme can be found below.

Please Note

The BAFE SP206 Design, Installation, Commissioning, Recharge and Maintenance of Kitchen Fire Protection Systems Scheme Document outlines all the requirements for gaining BAFE SP206 Registration (see Downloads). The step by step information below is an outline of the process.

Step 1

Check requirements of the BAFE SP206 Scheme – download and read the BAFE SP206 Scheme Document (see Downloads). For this scheme you do not need ISO9001 certification. However, you are required to have robust quality Management Systems in place. This is explained in the scheme document (Clause 19). An internal review should be performed using this document to see if your organization complies with all the necessary requirements.

Step 2

UKAS Accredited Certification Bodies (licensed by BAFE) deliver the BAFE scheme assessments. Please contact your chosen Certification Body directly to discuss the BAFE SP206 assessment process and costs for this (BAFE SP206 fees are included within the Certification Body assessment costs, you do not pay any fees directly to BAFE for this Scheme).

Certification Body Contact Information for BAFE SP206 Assessment

Your chosen Certification Body will deliver the BAFE SP206 scheme assessment and will also want to see evidence of work undertaken. On satisfactory completion of the assessment the applicant organization will be awarded Third Party Certification to the scope of BAFE SP206.

Step 3

When you have achieved Third Party Certification to the scope of SP206, your chosen Certification Body will inform BAFE directly of this (including information of a Primary Contact, Named Designers and any key personnel on BAFE’s request).

Step 4

Your organization will then be added to the BAFE Fire Safety Register online, which will enable all users searching for Third Party Certificated BAFE Registered Companies for this service to access your information.

BAFE will then send out a welcome pack including your BAFE SP206 Registration Certificate. At this point you will be permitted to display the BAFE SP206 logo and promote your BAFE SP206 Registration where appropriate (please contact BAFE for digital versions of the BAFE SP206 logo for use on web/print/vehicles).

Important Information
Once Third Party Certificated and BAFE Registered to BAFE SP206, your organization will be subject to ongoing assessments by your Certification Body (usually on an annual basis) to ensure that you continue to comply with the BAFE SP206 Scheme requirements.
Please note this scheme is operated by UKAS Accredited Certification Bodies on our behalf and BAFE Registration fees will be included within the Certification Body assessment costs. Please discuss this with the Certification Bodies that offer BAFE SP206 assessment for more information.
Ongoing costs will be a nominal fee for the generation (and administration) of the Certificates of Conformance via your chosen Certification Body – Please contact them directly for further information regarding this.
