The Institute of Fire Engineers and The Institute of Fire Safety Managers both have registers for accredited fire risk assessors.
Are they considered to be of equal standing?

I would say that the IFE is a more widely recognised organisation. All Fire Brigades recognise the IFE and have an involvement within the regional branches of it. Also, I feel that the accreditation process is tougher for the IFE. I am an accredited assessor with the IFE. Prior to choosing the IFE I looked at the IFSM and decided to go with the IFE.
Best regards

Whilst accreditation is a useful guide, I would still go for satisfactory references in selecting an assessor as competence is important.

Hi Bob, My LA has indicated that all H&S officers are to get accreditation on one of these bodies. I believe it is a combination of attending one of the recognised course for them and then submit a series of assessments and then applying.. Kike all things there will be a fee.
Hope this helps
Cheers.

If you have a look at the IFE (Institution of Fire Engineers) web site you can click on the pages that tell you exactly what is required to become a registered fire risk assessor. You do have to submit examples of fire risk assessments carried out, you may also have to attend a panel meeting where you are assessed by a panel of experts in the subject. You must hold a minimum of £1million of PI.
I agree that references are always advisable as well as selecting from the register.
