How we work in the UAE
Referenced to the code. Aware of the authority. Precisely worded.
Services are undertaken with reference to the UAE Fire and Life Safety Code of Practice, applicable Civil Defence requirements and the requirements of the relevant Authority Having Jurisdiction.
We provide Civil Defence compliance consultancy, technical support for submissions and approval process support. We do not issue Civil Defence approvals.
External wall and façade assessments follow the applicable UAE and local authority framework. They are not offered as a UAE EWS1 service. UK experience supports our technical credentials; it does not replace the UAE code.

Technical Services →Questions
Before you write.
Do you issue Civil Defence approvals?
No. We provide Civil Defence compliance consultancy, technical support for submissions and approval process support where it sits within our authorised scope. Approvals remain with the relevant authority.
Is façade work offered as EWS1?
No. External wall and cladding assessments in the UAE follow the applicable UAE and local authority framework. UK experience informs our method; it is not sold as a UAE EWS1 service.
Do you install, or only advise?
This company is the consultancy. Installation of passive fire protection and fire doors is delivered by Infinity Shield Technical Services LLC. Many clients use both, under one group, so strategy and workmanship stay aligned.
Which codes do you work to?
The UAE Fire and Life Safety Code of Practice, applicable Civil Defence requirements, and the requirements of the relevant Authority Having Jurisdiction. NFPA and BS/EN are referenced where the project requires it.
How quickly do you respond?
We typically respond within four hours on UAE business days.
