Case Study

Fire Safety in Singapore

The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) regulates fire safety products in Singapore through a Product Listing Scheme (PLS) which was implemented in 1998. The scheme ensures that fire safety products conform to safety, reliability and performance standards. Since 15 Apr 2008, Certification Bodies (CBs) based in Singapore have to be accredited by the Singapore Accreditation Council (SAC) or any SAC Multilateral Recognition Arrangement (MLA) partners for product certification of regulated fire safety products before they are accepted by SCDF.
