Fire protection; notification of commencement of activity or application for certification for external inspection experts
The Registration Committee at the Chamber of Architects accepts notifications of the commencement of work as a fire safety testing expert and decides on the application for the issue of the certificate of compliance with the requirements as a testing expert.
Description
Non-German testing experts, i.e. those who have neither a residence nor a branch office or predominant professional occupation in Bavaria, may only use the designation "Testing Expert for Fire Protection" if they either
- they are allowed to use the title on the basis of a regulation of a state of the Federal Republic of Germany in which they have their domicile, their branch office or predominant occupation, or
- if they meet the material requirements for entry in the corresponding list.
Non-German testing experts must give prior notice of the first performance of services or apply for a certificate of compliance with the material requirements.

- if you have a comparable authorization with regard to your field of activity, and
- you had to fulfill comparable requirements with regard to the recognition prerequisites and the proof of knowledge, and
- if you are not prohibited, even temporarily, from exercising the activity (1st alternative) or
- if the recognition authority has certified that you meet the requirements with regard to the recognition prerequisites, the proof of knowledge and the scope of activity for recognition as an inspection expert (2nd alternative).
A further requirement is that you have a good command of the German language, both written and spoken.
The notification or the application are not required if a notification has already been made or a certificate has already been issued in another country of the Federal Republic of Germany.
