The Fire Standards Board (FSB) is pleased to announce the re-publication of the Data Management and Protection Fire Standards following a thorough and structured review process.
This review forms part of the routine cycle applied to all Fire Standards, ensuring they remain current, relevant, and fit for purpose.
As part of the review, the Protection Standard underwent public consultation due to the number and significance of proposed changes. In contrast, amendments to the Data Management Standard were minimal and did not require consultation.
A detailed summary of the updates to each Fire Standard is available on the “You Said, We Did” webpage. Additionally, each revised standard now includes direct links to the relevant HMICFRS Characteristics of Good Performance, ensuring clearer alignment with sector expectations.
To support fire and rescue services with implementation, guidance and resources are available from the National Fire Chiefs Council (NFCC) Implementation Team. For further information or support, please contact [email protected].
The Fire Standards Board extends its sincere thanks to everyone who contributed their expertise and feedback during the review. Your support continues to help shape and strengthen the future of fire standards across the UK.
