Fire safety certificates in London
Customers, agents and licensing bodies sometimes ask for a "fire safety certificate". The term does not correspond to one defined document, and Haven has not yet settled what it would inspect or what such a certificate would state.

TECHNICAL / LEGAL REVIEW REQUIRED
This page does not yet state what this service covers.
Haven offers this service, and you can ask us for it. What is missing is the verified detail — scope, the legislation behind it, how often it should be repeated and what it costs. Rather than fill those in from general knowledge and present them as Haven’s position, they are left out until somebody with the relevant competence has checked them.
OUTSTANDING · DEFINITION REQUIRED BEFORE THIS PAGE IS PUBLISHED. "Fire safety certificate" is not a term used anywhere in the Haven reference material, and it does not map to a single instrument in the way CP12 or EICR does. What Haven would inspect, what the document would state, and what a customer asking for one actually needs must all be settled before any content is written here.
What an FSC actually records.
This page exists so that anyone searching for the term reaches Haven rather than a dead end. It deliberately makes no claim about what a fire safety certificate is, because that has not been established.
If you have been asked for one, tell us who asked and what they want it to cover. In most cases the document actually required is a fire risk assessment, a fire door inspection or an emergency lighting test, and each of those is described in full elsewhere on this site.
LEGAL BASIS
Requires technical and legal review
Haven has not yet established which legislation applies to this service, so none is stated here. That is not the same as saying none applies. If you need to know the statutory position before instructing us, ask and we will confirm it in writing rather than guess.
Who this is for, and the properties it applies to.
Anyone who has been asked for one
Tell us who asked and what they want covered, and we will tell you which document that is.
It may not be the document you need
A fire risk assessment, a fire door inspection or an emergency lighting test is more often what a licensing body or an insurer is actually asking for.
