Design acceptance, installed-system certificates and the authority’s completion document serve different purposes. Ask who issues the requested document, what it covers and which application depends on it.
Identify the document and its issuer
DCD’s completion application uses “Fire fighting Certificate” for the extinguishing system’s supply, installation and test certificate. It is a supporting system certificate, not DCD’s own completion certificate. The form also asks for certificates for other systems, including the fire alarm and emergency lighting.
Gather the certificate and project references
Gather the actual document title, issuer, project reference, date and stated scope. For an existing property, ask for the available design and completion records rather than relying on a verbal description.
Check the scope and stage
Identify the issuer
Distinguish an authority document from a contractor or system record.
Identify the stage
Clarify design, installation, inspection or completion.
Check the scope
Confirm the building, unit and systems covered.
Check acceptance
Ask the receiving authority which exact document it requires.
Check the completion document required
DDA’s fit-out completion service asks for a DCD completion certificate. Keep that authority document separate from the system certificates submitted to support it.
