National Fire Risk Assessors Register

BS 8674:2025

BS 8674:2025 is the latest British Standard providing a structured framework for the competence of individual fire risk assessors. It defines the knowledge, skills, and behaviours required to carry out fire risk assessments effectively, ensuring that assessors can identify hazards, evaluate risks, and recommend appropriate control measures.

The standard is designed to promote consistency, professionalism, and confidence in fire risk assessments across the UK. By aligning with BS 8674:2025, organisations and individuals demonstrate that their fire risk assessments are carried out by competent professionals, reducing the likelihood of fire-related incidents and ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements.

BS 8674:2025 is about raising standards in fire safety, making sure that those entrusted with assessing fire risks are qualified, competent, and capable of protecting lives and property.

National Fire Risk Assessors Register (NFRAR)

The NFRAR is owned and operated by the Institute of Fire Safety Managers, an independent, non-profit organisation with no commercial interest in the chosen assessor. NFRAR is the UK independent source for finding competent fire risk assessors. Every assessor listed has been verified through a competency assessment which is benchmarked against BS 8674.

With many people out there offering fire risk assessment services, ensure the assessor you choose is registered and capable of providing a fire risk assessment worth the paper it is written on.
