Due diligence focus areas for passive fire protection acquisitions
The diligence themes most likely to move price, deal structure or completion certainty.
Third-party certification
Verify IFC, FIRAS, BM TRADA or equivalent scheme status and any open audits.

Operative training is a real risk area — verify scheme card status across the team.
Insurance and run-off
Long-tail liability — review insurance and run-off cover carefully.
