We are pleased to announce that the Tiered Fire Risk Assessors Register has now officially transitioned to the Institute’s National Fire Risk Assessors Register (NFRAR).

You can now explore the new website at nfrar.co.uk/

This marks a major step forward in ensuring consistent standards, professional recognition, and accessibility for both fire risk assessors and building safety managers across the UK.

New Website Features

• A redesigned, intuitive directory of registered Fire Risk Assessors.
• Enhanced customisation for individual profiles.
• Digital membership cards with QR codes linking directly to each assessor’s verified online profile.
• Downloadable certificates and access to the National Fire Risk Assessors logo.

Fee Changes

The full policy document is now available on the website, along with detailed guidance on migration arrangements for existing registrants and instructions on how non-registrants can apply.

Registrants will need to update their password before logging into the new site and any existing automatic/recurring subscription payments will no longer work.

The research report, Experimental Study of Effect of Coatings on Combustion Characteristics of Wood, has now been released.

This study was conducted by Enya Zhang, a student at UCLan, who was awarded research funding in 2024. The research explores how different coatings impact the combustion characteristics of wood, providing valuable insights for fire safety professionals.

You can access the full report in the Technical Library section of the website or by following this link.
