In accordance with the Ordinance, composite and domestic buildings (target buildings) constructed on or before March 1, 1987, or with the plans of the building works first submitted to the Buildings Department (BD) for approval on or before that date must be enhanced to meet modern fire protection standards. The FSD and the BD will issue Directions to owners and/or occupiers with regard to the fire safety measures of the buildings under their respective purview, requiring them to carry out the required fire safety improvement works. Upon receipt of the Directions from the FSD, owners and/or occupiers shall appoint qualified registered fire service installation contractors to carry out fire safety improvement works in respect of the fire service installations and equipment of buildings.
To further assist owners and/or occupiers in complying with the Directions, the FSD has published on the department's website (www.hkfsd.gov.hk/eng/source/safety/List_RFSICs_Successful_Cap572_eng.pdf) today the list of registered fire service installation contractors who have successfully assisted owners in completing relevant fire safety improvement works for the fire service installations and equipment of the entire building and have not been ordered to be removed from the registers of fire service installation contractors after inquiry by the Registered Fire Service Installation Contractors Disciplinary Board within the past five years. The list will be updated for public reference at regular intervals.
