Bomba Certificate for Fire Extinguisher
I used to get questions from my friends who wants to know how to apply for Bomba Certificate for fire extinguishers. They were told that this certificate is required by the local town council to complete their application for business licence. To abtain this certificate, the premise owner has to purchase Fire Extinguisher which are Certified by SIRIM, Approved by BOMBA and meets the Code of Practise, in terms of size, type and location of installation. Application to the nearest Balai Bomba has to be made using Borang APA 1, APA 2 & APA 3. with payment. Upon approval, normally 2 to 3 days, a certificate called H13 and a receipt is issued. The first copy of H13 is to be paste onto the fire extinguisher body. Make sure does not obstruct the originl label on the extinguisher body, especially the operating instructions. The second copy is to be kept for future reference. Sometimes the local authority requires the receipt as prove of approval, sometime they require the second copy to be submitted together with the business licence application or renewal.

hi yc, i would like to ask if the bomba certificate lost already,what should i do?
ReplyDeleteFew options you have:
ReplyDeletea) Option 1
Get a new one. This is a good option if the lost certificate if expiring soon.
b) Option 2
Contact the Bomba office which issued the certificate to get a copy. This is a bit difficult as the cost involved may not justified.
c) Option 3
Do nothing. This is not recommended as it contradicts with legal requirement. But this remain the most popular choice of many.
I personally suggest Option 1, as the cost to get a new certificate is not too much. Your service supplier may be able to advice you better on the cost.
