SCDF Submission
When Do You Require an SCDF FSSD Submission?
Are you planning to build, renovate, or undertake any construction or internal renovation project in Singapore? If so, ensuring compliance with the Fire Safety Act, enforced by the Singapore Civil Defense Force (SCDF) and its Fire Safety and Shelter Department (FSSD), is required to secure the approvals needed to proceed with your project. These regulations are established to ensure that all buildings meet the highest fire safety standards.
Adhering to these requirements is more than a legal formality—it’s essential for ensuring the safety of everyone who will occupy the building. Ignoring these regulations can result in substantial penalties, legal issues, and costly delays that could affect your project’s timeline and budget.
Therefore, be sure to initiate an SCDF FSSD submission whenever you undertake design modifications that could affect fire safety. Examples such as adding partitions, ceilings, increase floor area, storage of flammable material and anything that affects fire safety provisions To prevent delays on your project, it is essential to ensure proper documentation and consult with qualified fire safety experts for a smooth and efficient approval process.

Understanding Fire Safety Certificate
A Fire Safety Certificate (FSC) is a critical requirement for any building project in Singapore. It serves as a formal declaration that the building’s fire safety measures strictly comply with the standards mandated by the SCDF. This certificate is your guarantee that the building is safe for occupancy and has met all the essential fire safety requirements.
The application process to obtain an FSC involves a review of the project’s fire safety designs. This review is conducted by a Qualified Person (QP), such as a registered architect or engineer. The QP ensures that the detailed plans align with the SCDF’s fire safety criteria, certifying that every component of the fire safety strategy—from emergency services access to the installation of fire suppression technology—adheres to the required standards.
