HDB Renovation: Confirming Approved Materials for Fire Safety Compliance

Check the materials against the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) list of approved materials or consult with your renovation contractor who should be familiar with the regulations.

Common materials include electrical wirings, paints, and other materials.

The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) provides guidelines and information on fire safety requirements, which can usually be found on their official website or through accredited renovation professionals.

Using non-compliant materials can result in the rejection of your renovation permit, potential fines, and the need to replace the materials, leading to delays and additional costs.

While the homeowner is ultimately responsible, it is common for the renovation contractor to ensure that all materials and work comply with HDB and SCDF regulations.
