Comprehensive BOH Operations & SCDF-Compliant Fire Safety
A high-performance kitchen requires more than just culinary skill; it demands a sanitised, well-organised Back-of-House (BOH) and a fire-safe infrastructure. Zion Maintenance provides specialised kitchen stewarding services and professional hotel kitchen cleaning designed for Singapore’s rigorous hospitality standards.
From managing high-volume dishwashing cycles to performing SCDF-mandated kitchen exhaust system cleaning, our 30 years of "constant supervision" ensures your facility remains operational, compliant, and safe. We help F&B operators maintain the long-term hygiene track record necessary to excel under the SFA SAFE Framework and ensure all fire-safety licence renewal requirements are met.
SCDF Fire Code Compliance: Kitchen Exhaust System Cleaning
In Singapore, commercial kitchen exhaust cleaning is not just about hygiene—it is a legal fire-safety requirement. Under SCDF Fire Code Chapter 7.1.13, all commercial exhaust systems and ducts must be degreased and cleaned at least once every 12 months to mitigate the risk of Class K kitchen fires.
Our Exhaust & Fire Safety Framework:
- Kitchen Exhaust Fan Cleaning: We perform deep de-greasing of fan blades and housings to prevent grease-load imbalance, which can lead to motor failure and fire hazards.
- NFPA 96 & SCDF Alignment: Our cleaning protocols are aligned with the NFPA 96 international standard, ensuring that ductwork, hoods, and rooftop units are cleaned to "bare metal" standards.
- Verification & Measurement: To parallel the clinical standards of our healthcare division, we utilise NFPA 96 Annex F methodology to measure grease depth. We provide photographic before-and-after documentation and verification reports to ensure grease accumulation is well below the 0.05" (1.27mm) safety threshold.
- Cleaning Certificates for Licence Renewal: We provide the documented cleaning certificates required for your SFA Food Shop Licence and Fire Safety Permit (FSP) renewals. For an in-depth analysis of why exhaust system maintenance is critical to operational uptime and fire safety, see our guide.
- Fire Safety Manager (FSM) Collaboration: For larger hotel and shopping mall facilities, we coordinate directly with your Fire Safety Manager to ensure all maintenance logs are audit-ready.
