In Sharjah, building safety is not optional—it is a strict legal requirement enforced to protect lives and property. Whether you manage a residential tower in Al Nahda, a warehouse in the Hamriyah Free Zone, or an industrial facility in Sajja, your fire safety systems must be operational 24/7.
At Midas Electromechanical Contracting, we provide Sharjah Civil Defence (SCD) approved Annual Maintenance Contracts (AMC) that ensure your premises remain protected, compliant, and ready for any emergency.
This guide covers everything you need to know about maintaining your fire systems and obtaining your safety certificate in Sharjah.
What is a Fire System Annual Maintenance Contract (AMC)?
An Annual Maintenance Contract (AMC) is a mandatory service agreement between a building owner and a certified fire fighting contractor like Midas. It guarantees that every component of your fire protection system—from smoke detectors to heavy-duty fire pumps—is inspected, tested, and maintained regularly.Why is it mandatory? You cannot renew your building’s trade license or civil liability insurance in Sharjah without a valid Fitness Certificate from the Civil Defence. An active AMC with an approved contractor is the only way to obtain this certificate.
