When it comes to fire safety in commercial premises, installing the right equipment is just the beginning. Regular servicing and maintenance are equally important, ensuring that your systems work when you need them most, and also to comply with Singapore’s strict fire safety regulations.
At Zion Safety Solutions, we do not just supply fire safety equipment. We maintain and service them, giving you peace of mind and full legal compliance.
Why Servicing Your Fire Safety Equipment Matters
Fire extinguishers, smoke detectors, hose reels, fire alarms, and sprinkler systems all degrade over time, especially in Singapore’s humid and variable climate. Without proper servicing, even the best equipment can fail when you need it the most.
Why regular servicing is essential:
1. Ensures Equipment Reliability
Dust, corrosion, or pressure loss can render your extinguishers and detectors completely ineffective. Professional servicing helps identify and resolve issues before it’s too late.
2. Protects Lives and Property
Well-maintained equipment is your first line of defense in a fire emergency. Fast response with functional extinguishers or alarms can prevent small fires from becoming disasters.
3. Reduces Long-Term Costs
Preventive maintenance can save your business from expensive replacements, property damage, or insurance claim rejections due to failed equipment.
Complying with Singapore’s Fire Safety Regulations
Adhering to the Singapore Fire Code
The Fire Code (SS 578: 2019) in Singapore outlines stringent requirements for maintenance, servicing, and recordkeeping of fire safety equipment in commercial buildings.
Some key requirements include:
Annual servicing of fire extinguishers by a SCDF-registered workshop
Routine checks for hose reels, fire alarms, and emergency lighting
Documented servicing records for audits and inspections
Non-Compliance = Penalties
Failure to adhere to fire safety regulations can lead to:
Fines or enforcement actions by SCDF
Delays in renewing Fire Safety Certificates (FSC)
Increased liability in the event of a fire
