Introduction to the Singapore Product Listing Scheme

Singapore places strong emphasis on the control of fire safety products used in building works. For regulated fire safety products, the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) administers the Product Listing Scheme (PLS) as the regulatory framework for third-party certification, listing and continued surveillance.

Under the PLS, regulated fire safety products must be certified by a recognised, SAC-accredited Certification Body before they are supplied or used for relevant fire safety works in Singapore. The certification process provides assurance that the product has been tested, assessed, documented and controlled in accordance with the applicable product standard, certification scheme and surveillance requirements.

CODIMI Pte Ltd is an accredited Certification Body for SCDF-regulated fire safety products under the Product Listing Scheme. We support manufacturers, suppliers, importers, contractors, Qualified Persons and project teams by providing independent product certification, technical evaluation, factory inspection, product listing, label / Declaration of Compliance control and post-certification surveillance.

What the Product Listing Scheme is intended to achieve

The Product Listing Scheme helps ensure that regulated fire safety products supplied to projects are not only tested once, but are also traceable, controlled and subject to ongoing verification.

This is particularly important for life safety products, where changes in material, construction, production process, installation method, project application or scope of use may affect fire performance.

The scheme supports:

Regulatory compliance with the Singapore Fire Code;

Independent certification by an accredited Certification Body;

Verification of fire test evidence and supporting technical documentation;

Review of product construction, specifications and permitted variations;

Factory production control and product consistency;

Product traceability through Certificates of Conformity, serial labels and/or Declarations of Compliance;

Continued surveillance through factory inspection, site inspection and/or surveillance testing, where applicable.

Who should use this service

CODIMI supports:

Manufacturers seeking certification for products supplied into Singapore;

Singapore suppliers, importers and distributors acting as CoC holders or local representatives;

Contractors requiring certified systems for project use;

Qualified Persons and project teams requiring clarification of listing scope;

Overseas manufacturers seeking a practical route into the Singapore market;

Project stakeholders who need to confirm whether existing test evidence is suitable for Singapore certification.

How CODIMI supports the process

CODIMI evaluates whether the submitted product, test evidence, technical documentation, production arrangements and proposed scope of use meet the applicable certification requirements.

Where certification is granted, the product is listed in CODIMI’s certificate portal and may be supplied in accordance with the certified scope, label / Declaration of Compliance requirements and applicable surveillance regime.

Our approach is practical, technical and risk-based. We aim to identify the correct certification route at an early stage, confirm whether additional testing or assessment is required, and help clients avoid delays caused by incomplete evidence, unclear product descriptions or unsupported variations from the tested construction.
