SCDF seeks powers to take action against suppliers of non-compliant bomb shelter products
The Singapore Civil Defence Force is seeking new legislative powers to hold suppliers and manufacturers accountable for non-compliant bomb shelter products. Currently, enforcement is limited to certification bodies, but the proposed Bill aims to close this regulatory gap.
Why it matters
This legislation enhances public safety by ensuring that critical infrastructure like household bomb shelters meets mandatory quality and safety standards.
If passed, the Bill will allow SCDF to issue directions to parties in the supply chain if there are reasonable grounds to believe that a regulated shelter product is non-compliant.
