Due to the high demand for fire safety compliance, the accredited certification granted – FIRAS – after a fire competence assessment of your exits and fire doors, is vital for companies and their premises.  

 

What Is FIRAS?

FIRAS is a voluntary certification scheme developed for the construction industry to assess the competence of companies involved in fire protection systems. 

It covers both active fire protection systems and passive fire protection disciplines.

Certification is granted following a rigorous office management systems assessment and on-site inspections carried out by FIRAS inspectors. 

As a result, companies can undergo a full check and reap the benefits of having a complete fire safety inspection.

What Does FIRAS Certification Cover?

FIRAS schemes cover a wide range of trade disciplines, including:

  • Fire doors
  • Cavity barriers
  • Industrial sprinkler systems
  • Passive fire protection installations

Each discipline requires a separate application and assessment by experienced and competent technicians.

 

FIRAS Certified Contractors and Companies

A FIRAS-certified company has demonstrated:

  • Competence of installation and supervisory employees
  • Compliance with technical criteria
  • Ability to install fire protection systems in accordance with standards
  • Ongoing compliance through regular assessment

Only FIRAS-certified contractors appear on the official FIRAS register, a public database used by clients, local councils, and building owners.

 

Competence Assessment and Certification Process

At Yeoman Shield, we provide competence assessment and check everything from the supervisory and installation employees to the management systems.

The FIRAS certification scheme involves:

  • Application by the applicant contractor
  • Assessment of office management systems
  • Site inspections of the carried-out work
  • Competence assessment of installers and supervisors

Certification is awarded only when conformity and compliance are fully demonstrated.

 

Why FIRAS Certification Matters

FIRAS certification provides:

  • Independent third-party certification
  • Confidence in competence and workmanship
  • Demonstrated compliance with legal and regulatory requirements
  • Support for fire risk assessments and building control

It is a highly sought-after competence assessment by companies involved in residential and commercial fire protection work. The FIRAS certification scheme proves compliance and provides peace of mind for all users of your premises.

 

Accreditation and Industry Recognition

FIRAS operates in accordance with standards recognised by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS) and is supported by UK trade associations. This ensures credibility, transparency, and consistency across the scheme.
