Stephen Adams has just sent us the following BAFE
updates. The SP101/ST104 info is particularly
interesting:-
i.
SP101/ST104
UKAS are continuing their work to
get all the listed Certification Bodies (CBs) accredited to deliver ISO 9001
certification to include SP101.
BAFE continue to reap the benefits
of this work and we are now becoming aware of several companies who may not be
declaring the correct number of technicians to be registered. The potentially
poor standard of work carried out by these unknown technicians is starting to
come to light and may be adversely affecting BAFE’s reputation; we will thus be
working on this with the CBs. We actively now check ISO 9001 certificates and
compare to declared numbers of registered
technicians.
It is still our intention once we
have all the CBs accredited to meet with them to ensure the scheme is run as it
should be and to seek areas where we might be able to reduce overlap. Once we
have that meeting we will have a clearer picture in which to review the
scheme.
ii.
SP203-3 Gaseous
Suppression
The scheme document has been revised
and is now published. It has been brought in line with the current SP203-1
document and also to keep the scheme comparable with LPS1204.
iii.
SP203-4 Emergency
Lighting
The document has been revised and
has been ratified by the Monitoring Group. However, some late comments have been
received from a large scheme supporter, namely the MOD. In the light of these we
are making two minor changes prior to publication.
iv.
SP203-1 Fire Alarm and Detection
Systems
BSI have now published a revision to
BS 5839-1 and as a result we will start on a revision to the scheme
document.
