Independent checking
BAFE registration involves assessment of competence and processes. It is not a self-declaration.
Independent third-party assurance for fire protection work.
BAFE (British Approvals for Fire Equipment) is an independent registration body for organisations involved in fire protection. Companies registered with BAFE have been assessed against defined schemes that cover competence, processes and quality.
Registration is not automatic. Organisations are independently assessed. RMEC is BAFE registered under CHES122.
Being BAFE registered means our fire protection work has been independently checked rather than self-declared.
Registration CHES122
Independently assessed for fire protection
BAFE registration involves assessment of competence and processes. It is not a self-declaration.
BAFE schemes align with British Standards such as BS 5839 for fire detection and alarm systems.
Choosing a registered company reduces the risk of poor design, installation or maintenance.
Registration provides a clear number and scheme to reference if issues arise.
Our BAFE registration supports the fire detection and alarm systems we design, install and maintain across Manchester, Cheadle, Stockport and the North West, including:
BAFE registration is not a one-off certificate. Registered organisations are independently assessed on a regular basis. The assessment looks at competence, processes and the quality of work — not just whether a company says it follows the standards.
Choosing a BAFE registered installer (we are registered as CHES122) gives you third-party assurance that the company has been checked. It reduces the risk of systems that look complete but do not meet the standard when they are later inspected or when a claim is made.
Our registration covers fire protection work. We are also SSAIB certified for security systems. See why SSAIB matters for the security side.
