Question 1

What is a Bomba certificate and who needs one?

Accepted Answer

The Fire Certificate (FC) is issued by Jabatan Bomba dan Penyelamat Malaysia for designated premises such as hotels, hospitals, factories, shopping complexes and high-rise buildings. It confirms that fire protection systems and means of escape comply with UBBL 1984. It must be renewed annually.

Question 2

How long does the Bomba submission process take?

Accepted Answer

Plan approval typically takes 4–8 weeks depending on building complexity and authority workload. Once installation is complete and testing passes, inspection and certificate issuance usually follows within 2–4 weeks. We manage the full timeline and keep you updated at each milestone.

Question 3

How often must fire extinguishers be serviced?

Accepted Answer

Portable extinguishers require servicing at least once every 12 months, with hydrostatic pressure testing every 5 years for most types. We tag each unit and send reminders before the service date lapses.

Question 4

Do you handle both design and installation?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We produce architectural and M&E drawings in-house, submit them for approval, then carry out installation, testing and commissioning with our own licensed crews — so there is one accountable party from drawing to certificate.

Question 5

Can you take over a project another contractor started?

Accepted Answer

Frequently. We audit the existing installation and drawings, list what is non-compliant, quote the rectification scope, and take over the authority liaison from there.

Question 6

Which areas do you cover?

Accepted Answer

We work throughout Klang Valley, Selangor, Negeri Sembilan and Penang, and undertake larger nationwide projects on request. Free site assessments apply within Klang Valley.

Question 7

Do you provide fire safety training for staff?

Accepted Answer

Yes — extinguisher handling, evacuation drills and emergency response briefings, conducted on your premises and documented for your audit records.
