Open this form

Complete the NSW Fire Safety Certificate on the PDF layout and download a filled document. Open the form when you have the current fire safety schedule and assessment details ready.

Tradie Forms prepares the PDF. It does not send the certificate to Fire and Rescue NSW, council, a certifier or the building owner.

Before you start

• Know whether you need a final certificate (whole building work) or an interim certificate (completed part only).
• Have the current fire safety schedule handy for Section 4 measures.
• Confirm who will issue the certificate and who needs to receive it for this job.
• Pages 3 and 4 of the downloaded PDF are owner guidance only. You do not need to fill those pages in the app.

Work through seven sections in PDF order in the app. The building address you enter in Section 2 is copied into the footer on every page of the downloaded PDF.
