Governance
Compliance & Standards
A system is never compliant merely because a checklist was ticked. It is compliant when there is evidence.
PSiRA registered
Company and personnel registrations are held current and verified, not filed and forgotten.
Fire detection to SANS 10139:2021
Design basis, certificates, drawings, commissioning records and servicing history are all preserved.
Electric fencing to SANS 10222-3
Installations follow the current edition together with SANS 60335-2-76 and the manufacturer's manual revision.
POPIA-aware records
Personal information is collected for a stated purpose, access-controlled and never exposed on public asset tags.
How we report status
Four states, used everywhere
✓
Compliant
Evidence on file: tests, measurements and photographs.
!
Action required
Working, but something must be corrected or re-tested.
✕
Non-compliant
Fails a legal, standard or manufacturer requirement.
?
Not verified
No evidence yet — never assumed to be compliant.
Order of precedence
- 1. South African law and regulation
- 2. Mandatory SANS / IEC standards
- 3. Manufacturer safety and installation requirements
- 4. Engineer, fire consultant or client specification
- 5. Swift Fortress standard operating procedure
Where these conflict, the conflict is raised for compliance review. We never quietly decide which requirement to ignore.
