When it comes to fire and life safety in Saudi Arabia, approval from the Saudi Civil Defense is not just a recommendation—it’s a legal requirement. Whether you’re constructing a commercial building, industrial facility, or infrastructure project, your fire protection and life safety systems must comply with Civil Defense standards to receive operating permits and occupancy certificates.
At NARSECT, we specialize in delivering Civil Defense-approved fire protection systems, helping clients meet all regulatory requirements from design to handover.
What Is Saudi Civil Defense Approval?
Saudi Civil Defense, under the Ministry of Interior, is the government authority responsible for fire safety enforcement across all types of facilities in the Kingdom. Their role includes:
- Approving fire system designs
- Inspecting and certifying fire protection installations
- Reviewing evacuation and emergency response plans
- Ensuring compliance with local and international fire codes (e.g., NFPA)
No facility can legally operate without obtaining final Civil Defense approval for its fire and safety systems.
What Systems Require Civil Defense Approval?
To pass Civil Defense inspection, your facility must install, test, and certify:
- Fire Alarm Systems
- Fire Suppression Systems (FM-200, Novec 1230, CO₂, Foam)
- Fire Sprinkler and Water Mist Systems
- Emergency Lighting and Exit Signage
- Voice Evacuation & Public Address Systems
- Smoke and Heat Detection Systems
Systems must be installed using Civil Defense-approved equipment and designed by qualified, licensed engineers.
