Fire alarm certificates to BS 5839
Design, installation, commissioning, acceptance, verification, modification and servicing — issued digitally.
The BS 5839-1 model certificate set for fire detection and alarm systems, plus the domestic BS 5839-6 record. Each is a distinct document with its own role and signatory — the acceptance certificate is signed by the client — and each issues sealed with a verify link.

Issued digitally, every time
A verify link on every certificate
Each record has its own public web page and QR code — anyone can scan it and confirm it's genuine, any time.
Tamper-proof digital seal
Every issued PDF is cryptographically sealed, so a downloaded copy can be proven unaltered years later.
Always online, never lost
The permalink stays live for the life of the record — no filing, no re-issuing a mislaid copy.
Auto-attach to invoices
The certificate rides the job's invoice email automatically, so the customer gets the bill and the proof together.
Sign on web or the mobile app
Capture the engineer's and customer's signatures on site on a phone, or on the desktop — offline works too.
No pads or books to buy

Seven certificates, each with its role
BS 5839-1 defines separate model certificates for design, installation, commissioning, acceptance, verification, modification and servicing — different responsibilities, different signatories. Jobivo keeps them separate, as the standard intends, rather than flattening them into one. The acceptance certificate captures the client's signature at handover and is never auto-issued.
The recurring service record
The inspection and servicing certificate carries the six-monthly interval and records the next service due date — the recurring record that evidences a maintained system. Variations are recorded in a structured block, like departures on an electrical certificate.
