Description

Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea (RBKC) requires qualified consultants to ensure suitable and sufficient fire risk assessments are in place for our Council owned Housing buildings, in line with our strategy detailed in FRP-005.

The fire risk assessments must meet the requirements of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, including amendments made by the Fire Safety Act, the forthcoming Building Safety Bill and relevant secondary legislation.

Competence of assessors
All fire risk assessors carrying out FRAs of RBKC buildings are to have individual third-party registration on the National Register of Fire Risk Assessors (IFE Fire Risk Register, FRACS, or Tier 3 IFSM). All assessors are to hold a grade of membership with a recognised fire safety professional body, preferably the Institution of Fire Engineers.

All fire risk assessors working on buildings with a storey height of 11 metres and over will be additionally registered with the Engineering Council through the Institution of Fire Engineers (IFE), at minimum level of EngTech.
The FRA provider (organisation) will be third-party certified under the BAFE SP205 Scheme.
