Fire risk assessor's accreditation scheme gets UKAS backing

摘要

A third party accreditation scheme for fire risk assessors accredited by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS) has been launched by Warrington Certification, in association with the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS).rnThe scheme is the first for fire risk assessors to be UKAS accredited and complies with BS EN ISO/IEC 17024: 2003, the standard for bodies operating the certification of competent persons. It is open to practising fire risk assessors who want to demonstrate their competence through third party assessment. For those affiliated to RICS, the scheme provides the basis for entry onto a register of competent fire risk assessors held and managed by the institution.
