Documentation for systematic fire prevention work (sfpw)

The Act on Protection Against Accidents (2003:778) involves, among other things, the property owner and tenant having joint responsibility for systematic fire prevention work (SFPW) being conducted throughout the entire period of use of the building or installation. Included in this is the need for the fire prevention to be documented.
With the Jetas method the work is simple to administer and the incontrovertible documentation obtained is, of course, a great advantage if the authorities conduct an inspection.

RECI Industri AB employs the Jetas method in order to document its fire prevention with, for example, lower insurance premiums as a result.


This is what the Swedish Rescue Services Agency has to say:

”For each building or installation there should be documentation of the fire prevention which is sufficiently comprehensive to ensure that reasonable fire prevention measures are taken and kept in good working order.”

This is what is stated in the Swedish Rescue Services Agency’s general advice and comments on the systematic fire prevention work SRVFS 2004:3

The general advice relates to the Act (2003:778) on Protection Against Accidents that has been in force since 1 January 2004 and which, among other things, states that the property owner and the tenant have a joint responsibility for a systematic fire prevention work (SFPW) being conducted throughout the entire period of use of the building or installation. Included in this is the need for the fire prevention to be documented.
