Here you will find all of the information required to submit your Kitchen Fire Protection Systems Gold or Silver application to NSI.
1. Guidance
Thank you for enquiring about the NSI Kitchen Fire Protection Systems Scheme. Below you should find all of the scheme criteria which your organisation will need to meet in order to gain approval, and the forms you will require in order to apply.
Initial Certification audits are usually booked 3 months following application being completed. However, sometimes audits can be done at an earlier time, subject to NSI’s auditor availability and your organisation’s readiness for audit. You should make your application at such a time as you are very confident that the organisation will be able to demonstrate that it is meeting the criteria and requirements at the time of audit.
Please note: as a pre-requisite, applicants will be expected to have undergone training in those systems it wishes to include on its scope of certification. Please refer to Section 7 ‘Organisation Competence Requirements’ of the BAFE Scheme document SP206 for more information, or speak to our Application Advisors.
Please feel free to get in touch with the applications team by phone or email if you need to discuss your application. T: 01628 764885 or E: applications@nsi.org.uk.
