How much can the fee go up to for an initial firm registration?

The fee for an initial firm registration can go up to 450. This amount is established to cover administrative costs associated with processing registrations, conducting background checks, and ensuring compliance with relevant statutes and regulations.

Setting the fee at this level allows the governing body to maintain standards in the registration process and contribute to the overall regulatory framework aimed at ensuring safety and quality in fire safety practices. This is especially relevant in the context of extinguisher services, where proper registration contributes to accountability and professionalism in the industry.
