FSA – Fire Systems Section

The FSA Fire Systems Section represents and supports companies involved in the design, installation, commissioning, maintenance and monitoring of fire detection and alarm systems.

FSA companies include businesses of all sizes operating across the UK.

The requirements on FSA fire systems specialists include the need to comply with all relevant British and European Standards and to hold third party certification for fire detection and alarm systems.

Key issues for the fire sector include:

• Responding to the impact of the Fire Safety RRO, which came into effect in October 2006, and the progressive introduction of the Chief Fire Officers’ URN policy
• The effective representation of the needs of the sector in the development of British and European technical standards and national occupational standards
• The effective support of fire systems specialists in their adoption of new standards and technical change in order to meet the needs of their customers 
• The development of appropriate qualifications and the provision of the training needed to enable fire systems specialists to assimilate technological developments and meet the needs of their customers
