SCDF Regulated Fire Safety Products in Singapore

How the SCDF Product Listing Scheme, Fire Code 2023 Chapter 11 and Table 11A apply to fire-rated systems, building materials and fire safety equipment.

Direct answerRegulated fire safety products are the products and materials listed in SCDF Fire Code 2023 Table 11A. Under the SCDF Product Listing Scheme each must hold a valid CoC from an SAC-accredited Certification Body; some also need a DoC, serial label or certified mark. Products in SCDF’s Annex C list also require FSC02 endorsement by the Appropriate QP.

SCDF Product Listing Scheme in brief

Under the Product Listing Scheme, regulated fire safety products are regulated by SCDF and certified by Certification Bodies accredited by the Singapore Accreditation Council. CoCs and DoCs are recorded in each Certification Body’s online directory for verification. SCDF currently recognises ten Certification Bodies, whose directories are linked in the sources below.

Fire-rated glass partitions (item 12) require a CoC and DoC; the glass type, thickness, frame and maximum pane size must all fall within the certified scope. Composite panels for external-wall cladding (item 36) are subject to project-level inspection by the Certification Body — the composite panel SCDF compliance article explains the checks.

Whether a particular product needs FSC02 depends on its exact classification, intended use, SCDF Table 11A category and project application. Product numbering in the older Annex C circular may differ from the current Fire Code 2023 Table 11A.

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.

Why do Annex C item numbers not match Table 11A?

The older Annex C circular used its own numbering, which may differ from the current Fire Code 2023 Table 11A. Always identify a product by its description and its current Table 11A reference, not by an old item number.

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.

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.

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.
