Compliance portal from FIA designed to “advance fire safety standards”
25 November 2024
THE FIRE Industry Association (FIA) has announced the launch of FIA Compliance, which is badged as “an innovative web-based platform designed to revolutionise fire safety compliance for businesses across the industry”.
In a landscape where adhering to British Standards is both a moral imperative and essential for Best Practice, the FIA Compliance portal provides fire safety professionals, business owners and industry stakeholders alike with a streamlined and user-friendly solution.
From detector selection through to commissioning, the FIA Compliance portal ensures comprehensive and up-to-date documentation, helping users to remain compliant with key standards including BS 5839-1.
The portal not only simplifies the certification process, but also enhances business efficiency by providing the digital tools that organisations require when time, resources or budget might be at a premium. Companies can generate standardised documentation, create British Standards-compliant checklists and issue professional digital certificates.
The portal’s dynamic notification system also keeps users informed of regulatory changes, ensuring they remain one step ahead in what’s now a rapidly evolving industry.
Driving excellence in fire safety
“The FIA Compliance portal represents our dedication to advancing fire safety by simplifying compliance and championing competency as part of the golden thread of information,” affirmed Chris Tilley, commercial manager at the FIA.
Tilley added: “We recognise the challenges businesses face with complex compliance requirements. This new platform offers a clear and accessible path to certification and enhanced industry credibility.”
The portal is backed by the FIA’s expertise and technical guidance. Whether accessed online or through bespoke on-site consultancy, it caters to professionals at all levels, including technicians, installers and business owners.
Featuring smart templates for management systems and technical reports with built-in verification calculations, the platform supports users in maintaining high standards across all fire safety operations.

At the forefront of fire safety, the FIA represents more than 1,200 members and shapes industry standards and legislation. The FIA Compliance portal is the latest initiative in the Trade Association’s mission to safeguard lives and property by making compliance more accessible and manageable for businesses of all sizes.
This portal is described as “an essential tool” for companies seeking to achieve BAFE SP203-1 certification, which is critical for compliance with BS 5839-1.
