This document certifies the building’s suitability for use and safety, and helps promote safety and the sustainability of properties. The deadline for issuing the certificate has been extended until November 30, 2026, from the original date of September 16, 2026, providing building owners with an additional opportunity to complete the necessary procedures. To obtain or renew the certificate, submissions must include reports and approvals related to structural safety, electrical, gas, water, sanitation, air conditioning and ventilation systems.
