CB Services Group is proud to announce that we have achieved BAFE SP203-4 certification for the installation, commissioning and maintenance of emergency lighting systems. This respected, third-party certification is a clear demonstration of our ongoing commitment to technical excellence, robust compliance, and—most importantly—keeping people safe.
For our clients across London and the South East, particularly local authorities, housing associations and public sector organisations, emergency lighting is not a “nice to have”. It is a critical life-safety system that must perform reliably in the moments that matter most.
What is BAFE SP203-4?
BAFE (British Approvals for Fire Equipment) is widely recognised across the fire safety sector for its rigorous, independently assessed competency schemes. SP203-4 is the BAFE scheme specifically focused on emergency lighting, covering the full lifecycle of service delivery—from initial installation through to commissioning and ongoing maintenance.
CB Services Group is now a BAFE Registered Organisation (ID: 303590) under this scheme.
What our BAFE SP203-4 certification means for clients
Choosing a certified provider reduces risk, strengthens compliance, and gives you confidence that the work has been delivered to a verified standard. Here’s what BAFE SP203-4 brings to your organisation:
- Third-party verified competency – independent assurance that our systems, processes, and people meet the scheme’s requirements
- Compliance confidence – full alignment with BAFE Competency Scheme requirements and recognised industry best practice
- Safety assurance – rigorous standards designed to ensure emergency lighting performs correctly when it’s needed most
- Client peace of mind – assurance you are working with a certified, accountable provider
Full coverage: install, commission and maintain
Our SP203-4 certification covers all aspects of emergency lighting provision, including:
- Installation of emergency lighting systems
- Commissioning and verification
- Planned maintenance and ongoing compliance support
This end-to-end capability is particularly valuable for clients managing large, occupied estates—where consistency, documentation, resident care, and programme delivery all need to work together.
