Introduction of the Registered Fire Engineer Scheme

Programme Highlights

In order to facilitate business operations and optimize the use of professional human resources, the government proposed to introduce a third-party fire safety certification scheme, namely the Registered Fire Engineer (“RFE”) Scheme, to leverage professional engineers and qualified persons in the market for the provision of fire safety risk assessment and certification services.

Taking into consideration valuable feedback from the three trade consultations and the results of a Business Impact Assessment, the Fire Services Department has drawn up a detailed proposal for the Scheme.  The seminar aims to introduce the RFE Scheme to members of HKIE, covering topics in relation to registration requirements, duties of registered fire engineers, regulatory mechanism, and schedule of implementation.
