Use these three levels:<ul><li><strong>Foundation Level (Low Risk):<\/strong><br \/>Ideal for simple, low-risk environments (e.g. small offices, small retail shops)<\/li><li><strong>Intermediate Level (Medium Risk):<\/strong><br \/>For more complex premises such as larger retail units, industrial workshops, or warehouses<\/li><li><strong>Advanced Level (High Risk):<\/strong><br \/>For highly complex or high-risk environments (e.g. buildings with sleeping accommodation, care homes, large factories or mixed-use high-rise sites)<\/li><\/ul>Putting your premises in the right bracket helps ensure the assessor has the required competence and experience.\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4>2 Search a verified register<\/h4>\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<p>Always look for assessors on trusted, independent registers to ensure legitimacy and verified competence.<\/p><strong>Recommended Registers &amp; Certifications:<\/strong><ul><li><strong>Individual Registers:<\/strong>\u00a0NFRAR<\/li><li><strong>Company Certification:<\/strong>\u00a0BAFE<\/li><\/ul>Using a reputable register gives you confidence that certifications and insurance have been independently verified.\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4>3 Request Documents &#038; Verify Credentials<\/h4>\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<p>Make sure to ask for, and carefully check:<\/p><ul><li>Individual assessor registration (from one of the recognised bodies)<\/li><li>Company certification (if your building is high-risk)<\/li><li>Valid professional indemnity insurance<\/li><\/ul>If they&#8217;re listed on the NFRAR, their insurance and credentials are verified annually. However, it&#8217;s still important to confirm that the assessor&#8217;s professional indemnity insurance provides an adequate limit of cover for your project&#8217;s scale and complexity.\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4>4 Confirm Experience with Similar Premises<\/h4>\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<p>An assessor may technically have the right certifications, but for the best results you should ensure they have hands-on experience with buildings like yours especially if you have sleeping accommodation, care facilities, or large industrial sites.<\/p>\t\t\n<h3  data-animation-delay=\"0\" data-animation-duration=\"1\">\n\t\t\tFurther Guidance\t<\/h3>\n\tThe following resources provide additional guidance to help you understand your responsibilities and obligations under fire safety legislation:\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/knowledge.bsigroup.com\/products\/built-environment-framework-for-competence-of-individual-fire-risk-assessors-code-of-practice\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>BS 8674:2025 &#8211; Built environment &#8211; Framework for competence of individual fire risk assessors &#8211; code of practice<\/strong><\/a>This is the newly published British Standard, it provides a structured framework of competency for fire risk assessors at three distinct levels (Foundation, Intermediate and Advanced).<\/li>\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/knowledge.bsigroup.com\/products\/fire-risk-assessment-housing-code-of-practice\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>BS 9792:2025 &#8211; Fire Risk Assessment: Housing.
