Hi all. Has anyone any information on CFOA/CFOA(Scotland)'s plans to introduce a system of accreditation for fire alarm installation companies?

No, but surely it's an unnecessary duplication of what BAFE & it's kitemarking scheme is for? The last thing we need is half a dozen different accreditation schemes!

Or push the smaller independent companies out of the market.

CFOA wanted to push accreditation (BAFE / LPS) through via its unwanted fire alarms policy when URN's were still being thrown about. I believe this has been blocked due to fact it prevents free and fair trade.

Just one more policy that has failed completely with no national consistency!

CFOA are i believe rewriting the policy on unwanted alarms and fire alarm accreditation will go and only be voluntary. Albeit will be interesting to see how many fire authorities take up the new policy when so many are already contacting companies detailing their local policy for dealing with unwanted alarms.

The problem is some companies do not want to play ball when brigades tell them of there policy & are waiting for the new CFOA policy hoping that all brigades will adhere to it.
