Work involving installation, maintenance and repair of fire-safety systems in buildings may require an EMERCOM (MChS) licence. Before applying, the business should identify the planned works, verify the current licence requirements and prepare evidence that personnel, equipment and internal processes meet them.
Identify the licensed scope
The licensing regulation contains a list of works and services covered by the fire-safety licence. The proposed activities, contracts and technical capability should match that scope. Do not rely on a broad business description where the actual work falls within a regulated category.
Pre-application checklist
- legal entity or individual-entrepreneur registration details;
- responsible personnel and their required education, professional training and experience;
- employment arrangements for the personnel required by the regulation;
- equipment, instruments, technical documentation and internal procedures appropriate to the stated works;
- a review of existing compliance duties if the applicant is already licensed.
Application and verification
The application is submitted under the licensing procedure. The authority may assess the information and compliance with licence requirements. The business should keep the supporting records current, because compliance continues after the licence is granted.
Ongoing compliance
A licence is not a one-time document for marketing purposes. The licensee must maintain the conditions that supported the application and respond to changes in personnel, scope and mandatory requirements. The applicable rules are currently in force through 1 September 2032, subject to further amendments.
