So.. what is
SDI 19?

SDI 19 is the certification scheme developed by the Smoke Control Association (SCA) in partnership with IFC Certification.  It is now mandatory for any SCA member involved in the installation of smoke control systems to achieve SDI 19 accreditation as a condition of membership.

Why was SDI 19
created?

The certification was created to help raise standards across the industry, and to ensure a suitable level of competency is maintained in all aspects of smoke control systems. SDI 19 also covers a contractor’s ability to provide necessary levels of service and maintenance following installation and commissioning to keep in line with the type and size of the building in question.
 
Contractors certified under the scheme will be suitably experienced in fire strategy verification, system design, installation and commissioning of smoke control systems in accordance with the following standards and industry guidance documents: Approved Document B, Approved Document B NI (Northern Ireland), Technical Handbook (Scotland), BS9999, BS9991, BS7346 Parts 4, 5, 7 and 8, BS 8519, BS8524, EN 12101 Part 6,
Technical Reports 12101-4 & 5, SCA Guidance Documents

This underlines the importance that the industry assigns to raising competency standards and improving the quality of companies involved in installation activities
