What the Appropriate QP must verify for FSC02
For every applicable product, the QP must verify that the actual installed product:
- Regulated and compliant product — the product falls within a Table 11A category and is certified for that use.
- Valid CoC — current, not withdrawn, suspended, terminated or superseded, verified in the Certification Body’s directory.
- Exact match to the CoC — brand, model, composition, thickness, configuration and manufacturer match the CoC and appendix.
- Representation of compliance — the DoC, serial label or certified mark required for that product is present and traceable.
- Correct installation — installed in accordance with the certified system and the approved fire safety design.
FSC02 endorsement is subject to review of the product documentation, certification scope, installation details and the QP’s professional assessment.
Our FSC02 work process

- Review the product category under SCDF Table 11AWe confirm the regulated product category, the current Table 11A reference and whether FSC02 applies.
- Check the CoC, test reports, system scope and validityCoC number, issue number, holder, model and scope are checked against the Certification Body’s directory.
- Check the DoC, serial label or certified markWhere applicable, we confirm the representation of compliance matches the certified product and the project.
- Inspect or verify the installed productQP site inspection or verification of the installation against the certified system and approved fire safety design.

Who we work with
Developers and building owners, main contractors, specialist fire-protection and drywall contractors, manufacturers and suppliers preparing CoC and DoC documentation, architects, and Project QPs who need an Appropriate QP for regulated products outside their discipline. We also provide technical support for TFP, FSC and MAA submissions.
FSC02 support for projects across Singapore
PE Consultants supports FSC02 and regulated fire safety product reviews for projects throughout Singapore, including commercial, industrial, institutional, residential and mixed-use developments.
Regulated products differ by building type. In industrial estates such as Jurong, Tuas and Woodlands, warehouses and factories commonly involve composite panels, coldroom materials, roof coverings and roof-mounted solar PV. Data centres rely heavily on fire-rated enclosures, fire-rated duct systems and fire stopping around dense service penetrations. Hospitals, schools and dormitories depend on compartment walls, protected shafts and fire-rated ceilings. Commercial and mixed-use developments around Changi and Paya Lebar often combine intumescent-coated steel, fire-rated glass partitions and engineered timber. Residential developments bring fire-rated floors, ceilings and protected shafts into scope.
The applicable documents are always determined by the product’s Table 11A category and the project’s approved fire safety design, not by location.
Frequently asked questions
What is FSC02 endorsement?
FSC02 is the Appropriate QP’s certification or endorsement, submitted to SCDF, for applicable regulated fire safety products installed in a project. By endorsing FSC02 the QP confirms that the installed product is a regulated and compliant product, holds a valid CoC, matches the CoC exactly, carries the required DoC, serial label or certified mark, and is installed in accordance with the certified system and the approved fire safety design. It is a professional endorsement, not an SCDF approval or a product certificate.
What is the difference between CoC, DoC and FSC02?
The CoC is issued by an SAC-accredited Certification Body to certify a product or system. The DoC is issued by the Certification Body to the CoC holder, where Table 11A requires it, for the batch or project supplied. FSC02 is the Appropriate QP’s endorsement that the applicable products actually installed in the project are compliant and correctly installed. Three documents, three different issuers, three different purposes.
Who issues a SCDF CoC?
A CoC is issued by a Certification Body accredited by the Singapore Accreditation Council (SAC) and recognised by SCDF, such as those listed on SCDF’s Regulated Fire Safety Products page. SCDF does not issue or endorse the CoC, and PE Consultants does not issue CoCs or DoCs. CoCs are recorded in each Certification Body’s online product directory for verification.
Is “SCDF-approved product” the correct term?
Usually not. SCDF does not approve or endorse individual CoCs. The accurate description is a regulated fire safety product certified by an SAC-accredited Certification Body under the SCDF Product Listing Scheme, holding a valid CoC. The phrase “SCDF-approved” is often misleading and should not be relied on without checking the CoC.
What should be checked before signing FSC02?
Before signing, confirm the product’s Table 11A category; the CoC number, issue number, holder and validity directly in the Certification Body’s directory; that brand, model and system configuration match the CoC and appendix; the DoC, serial labels or certified mark; the installation against the tested system and approved fire safety design; interfaces, penetrations and fire stopping; and site records and photographs.
Request FSC02 Assessment
Send your CoC, DoC, product details and installation information to PE Consultants Pte Ltd. FSC02 endorsement is subject to review of the product documentation, certification scope, installation details and the QP’s professional assessment.
