Structural Stability Certificate

A licensed engineer's certificate that a building is structurally safe for its use.

Overview

What a stability certificate is

A structural stability certificate is issued by a licensed structural engineer, certifying that a building is structurally safe for its intended use.

It is commonly required for factory licences, fire NOCs, and the approval of schools, hospitals, and similar premises — and for older buildings being re-purposed or re-occupied.
