Structural Stability Certificate
A licensed engineer's certificate that a building is structurally safe for its use.
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.
Who must obtain it
- Factories, schools, hospitals, and establishments where authorities require structural assurance
- Often a supporting document for factory licences and fire NOCs
- Older buildings being re-purposed or re-occupied
Documents you'll need
