CHALLENGE
What Fire Protection providers need to know
Since 1 January 2026, your role has evolved. You are no longer just maintaining hardware — you are managing regulated hazardous waste. Every foam concentrate you remove, every litre of rinse water from a system flush, every decontamination effluent is now classified as Hazardous Waste. And your clients expect you to guide them through the full transition too.
Reminder - Under Singapore's updated Environmental Protection and Management Act, any firefighting foam exceeding NEA thresholds, is classified as Toxic Industrial Waste and must be handled by a licensed TIWC.
PFOS: < 10,000 ppb PFHxS: < 100 ppb PFOA: < 25 ppb
