Composite Panels, Engineered Timber, Coldroom Materials and Solar PV: FSC02 Considerations
Composite panel SCDF compliance and other newer regulated categories under Table 11A.
Composite panels for external-wall cladding
Table 11A item 36 applies project-level surveillance. The QP checks the panel core and build-up against the CoC, the project DoC, the framing and fixing system and cavity barriers. Panels supplied under a different model or core formulation are outside the CoC.
Engineered timber
Item 38 requires a CoC and DoC. The QP checks the product grade, dimensions, fire design basis, connections and any protection linings.
Coldroom materials
Items 40.1 (non-fire-rated) and 40.2 (fire-rated) require a CoC and DoC. Panel type, core, thickness, joints and penetrations are checked; fire-rated coldrooms must follow the certified configuration.
Solar PV modules
Item 39.1 covers specified roof-mounted modules and 39.2 wall-mounted or wall-integrated modules. The CoC model range, mounting configuration and location must be confirmed; not every PV installation falls within the regulated scope.

Frequently asked questions
Which SCDF products require FSC02?
SCDF’s Annex C list identifies the regulated products that require endorsement by the Appropriate QP. These are mainly passive fire protection systems and building materials — for example fire-rated partitions, floors and ceilings, fire-rated enclosures, fire-rated duct systems, fire-stopping materials, fire-rated glass partitions, intumescent coatings, composite external-wall panels, engineered timber, coldroom materials and applicable solar PV modules. Whether a particular product needs FSC02 depends on its exact classification, intended use, SCDF Table 11A category and project application. See SCDF regulated fire safety products.
Can a contractor substitute a different fire-rated product during construction?
Only with care. A substitute must be a regulated product with its own valid CoC covering the exact model and configuration, the required DoC or labels, and it must suit the approved fire safety design. Changes to tested assemblies, supporting structure or penetration details may require design review. PE Consultants provides product substitution review before the change is made.
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.
