Office renovation: Verifying compliance with Singapore fire safety codes

Key codes include the Fire Safety Act, Fire Code, and Singapore Standard SS 550, covering fire detection, protection, and escape routes.
Engage a qualified fire safety engineer or registered architect to review your plans and ensure they meet the Fire Code and obtain necessary approvals from the SCDF.
Common requirements include fire-rated doors, fire extinguishers, smoke detectors, sprinkler systems, and clearly marked exit signs, depending on the size and occupancy of the office.
Submit detailed architectural plans, fire safety plans, and product certifications to the SCDF for approval, along with any necessary permits and licenses.
Non-compliance can result in fines, stop-work orders, delays in project completion, and potential safety hazards for occupants.
