DOWNLOAD APPLICATION FORM

This category of card is intended for those whose work includes the installation, servicing and maintenance of fire sprinkler systems.

Eligibility

Industry organisations have worked hard over recent years to ensure that formal, regulated qualifications are available for this important industry sector.

The JIB-PMES CSCS ‘Fire Prevention and Sprinkler Installation and Maintenance Fitter’ blue card is therefore available to applicants who can provide evidence of having achieved one or more of the following current qualifications:

  • SFJ Awards Level 2 Certificate in Fire Sprinkler Installation (Domestic and Residential)
  • SFJ Awards Level 3 Award in Commissioning, Servicing and Maintaining Sprinkler Systems – Residential Systems Pathway
  • SFJ Awards Level 3 Certificate in Residential Sprinkler System Design.

Additional information:

Those who meet the qualification requirement can, assuming they have also met all other card requirements (i.e. passed a valid Health, Safety and Environmental test) proceed to complete the PMES Related Occupations card application form. When completing the form, the ‘Fire Prevention and Sprinkler System Installation and Maintenance Fitter’ card box should be ticked on the front page and evidence of having passed the above qualification should be included with the application form.

The standard fee for this card is £40.00 (Fast track service is available for £100.00).

If you are applying for a free card, please download a copy of the application form and submit your application either by email or hard copy.  We cannot accept online applications for free cards.

What are my options if I don’t meet the qualification requirements?

If applicants cannot provide evidence of having completed the qualifications stipulated, there are two options open to them:

  • Undertake the training that will provide them with the required qualification(s)
  • Apply for an alternative type of card. The JIB-PMES CSCS green Labourer card is available to those who complete the one-day CITB ‘Site Safety Plus – Health and Safety Awareness’ course and who pass the CITB Operative Health, Safety and Environmental test.
