How SafeFire Works

Three pillars of verified compliance

From finding a vetted applicator to verifying their certificate — every step is backed by real credential checks.

The Vetted Directory

Search by location to find accredited applicators near you. Every listing is credential-gated — only applicators with current CIPC registration, SARS tax compliance, and valid SABS/Firelab chemical test reports appear here.

The Approved Chemical Database

Applicators can only log jobs using chemicals from SafeFire's pre-approved, SANS 10177-tested list. No unapproved product can be recorded — which means every CoC references a verifiably compliant chemical by batch number.

The CoC Generator

Log the job details, upload before/after photos, enter the batch number and square meterage — then pay the platform fee to unlock a tamper-proof PDF CoC with your company logo, the SafeFire Verified stamp, and a unique QR code that clients can scan to confirm authenticity.

For Property Owners, Venues & Event Spaces

Know your treatment is real.

Before accepting any CoC, verify it's authentic. SafeFire's QR verification confirms the certificate is genuine, unrevoked, and issued by a credentialled applicator.

  • Scan the QR code on any SafeFire certificate to instantly confirm it's valid and unaltered.
  • Check the applicator's credentials — CIPC registration, SARS tax compliance, and SABS-approved chemicals are verified at the time of issue.
  • Find a vetted applicator near you before booking — only compliant businesses appear in our directory.

For Chemical Suppliers & Manufacturers

List your chemicals — free.

SafeFire applicators can only log jobs and issue certificates with chemicals from the approved registry. If your product isn't listed, it can't be certified with — if it is, every certified application is recorded against it, batch number and all.

Your products, protected

Applicators declare which of your chemicals they use and upload proof of purchase. Suspect usage? Raise a query — SafeFire requests the invoice. Counterfeit and decanted product gets visible.

Volumes, not customer lists

Supplier reporting shows litres used and certificates issued per month and region — never applicator identities or their clients. Applicators' customers stay theirs; your product data stays yours. Supplier accounts are rolling out.

Built-in distribution

Every applicator training on SafeFire studies chemical modules built from your data sheets — your specifications, applied correctly, on record.

Request a listing

Free to list. SafeFire reviews your product documentation (TDS, SDS, test reports) before approval.

For Insurers, Underwriters & Fire Inspectors

Evidence you can check in ten seconds.
No account. No integration. No cost.

When a fire-retardant treatment is claimed on a risk, the usual evidence is an unverifiable paper certificate. Every SafeFire certificate — and every applicator badge — carries a QR code that resolves to a live, immutable record.

Claims-stage certainty

Scan the certificate: genuine, unrevoked, unaltered — or not on record at all. A ten-second check replaces a paper chase.

Batch-level traceability

Every certificate records the exact approved chemical, batch number, coverage and treated area — linked to the manufacturer's test certification.

Verified people, not just paper

Applicator badges verify the person on site: identity, training declarations, declared chemicals and live membership status.

Talk to us about underwriting integration Fire department & inspector access One sentence in your underwriting guidance protects your book: "fire-retardant certificates should be independently verifiable."

Fire departments, inspectors and health & safety officers: verified accounts with certificate-request access are rolling out — registration requires proof of official capacity, and certificate details are shared with the applicator's consent. Public QR verification needs no account and is always free.
