S.A.F.E. certifies self storage facilities in Hong Kong that are compile with Hong Kong Fire Services Department and Building Department’s guidelines. This programme will help you to confidently choose operators compliant with Hong Kong government regulations.

With an expiring period of 3 years/ 1 year, we provide regular checks to ensure the facility remain in the same layout.

To check if the facility has applied for S.A.F.E. and approved by an AP, you can look for a certificate bearing the date of certification and the expiration date.

Also all of the approved facilities will be listed here.

S.A.F.E evaluates the facilities according to the guidelines provided by the Fire Services Department, see full guidelines here:

As layouts in each facility are different, it could be difficult for consumers to know if the site is built according to the guidelines. Therefore S.A.F.E. has professionals to evaluate the facility and documents.
