SUMMARY:Introduction of Registered Fire Engineer Scheme
DESCRIPTION:About the Seminar		\n		Currently\, a person who intends to run 
 certain types of premises has to obtain a certificate or letter issued by 
 the Director of Fire Services certifying that the premises concerned have 
 complied with all relevant fire safety requirements and will not expose pe
 rsons therein to any undue risk of fire\, before he/she can be issued a li
 cence or a similar instrument by the regulatory authorities.  Under the F
 ire Services Ordinance (Cap. 95)\, the Fire Services Department (“FSD”
 ) is the only party vested with the statutory authority to issue fire safe
 ty certification for buildings or premises. In order to facilitate busine
 ss operations and optimize the use of professional human resources\, the F
 SD introduced the Registered Fire Engineer (“RFE”) Scheme to leverage 
 professional engineers and qualified persons in the market for the provisi
 on of fire safety risk assessment and certification services. The Fire Se
 rvices (Registered Fire Engineers) Regulation was enacted on 26 September 
 2026 and the RFE Scheme will be implemented in phases.  Phase 1 will comm
 ence on 1 November 2025 for licence applications related to food businesse
 s regulated under the Food Business Regulation (Cap. 132X)\, and the relev
 ant types of premises include general restaurants\, light refreshment rest
 aurants\, factory canteens\, food factories (whether or not for preparatio
 n of bakery products only) and composite food shops.  A comprehensive rev
 iew will be conducted by FSD to evaluate the effectiveness of the Scheme a
 fter Phase 1 has been implemented for about six months. Subject to the eva
 luation results\, consideration will be given to extending the Scheme to o
 ther licensed premises. This webinar aims to introduce the RFE Scheme to 
 members of IFE(Hong Kong Branch) and HKIE(Fire Division)\, covering topics
  in relation to registration requirements\, duties of RFE in relation to l
 icensed premises and regulatory mechanism.		\n			About the Speakers		\n		M
