BS 9792 fire risk assessment software
BS 9792:2025 fire risk assessment software, built around the standard.
FRA Flow is structured around BS 9792:2025, the current British Standard for housing fire risk assessment. Capture observations, draft reports, and run the reviewer queue using the section structure, evidence model, and competence framework the standard now expects.
No card. Two reports a month, free forever.
- BS 9792:2025 native
- Replaces PAS 79-2 thinking
- UK and EU hosted only
Why BS 9792-shaped software matters now
PAS 79-era tooling is now operating against a withdrawn reference.
01
PAS 79-2:2020 has been formally retired. Software still positioned around PAS 79 templates is shaped to a reference the standards body no longer maintains.02
Landlords, insurers, and tribunals are moving to expect BS 9792-aligned outputs. The transition is faster than most software vendors planned for.03
The standard tightens the evidence model. Significant findings need to be traceable to specific observations and locations, not bundled into prose.04
Competence framing is sharper. BS 9792 references PAS 7:2024 for who can lead and review FRAs, and the software you use should record that, not just collect a name on a sign-off line.From visit to BS 9792-aligned report
Workflow steps that mirror the standard, not a generic compliance form.
01
Capture against BS 9792 sections
On site, observations attach directly to the BS 9792 section they belong to. No remapping a generic form back into the standard later.
02
Draft narrative the standard expects
AI drafts the narrative findings using BS 9792 vocabulary and the evidence you captured. Every paragraph carries a footnote link to the source observation.
03
Reviewer queue, competence-framed
The reviewer queue surfaces high-risk and AI-drafted sections first. The sign-off block records both lead and reviewer competence in line with PAS 7:2024.
04
Issue a BS 9792-shaped report
Branded PDF and Word outputs that look like a BS 9792 report, with the section order, evidence model, and audit trail the standard expects.
Three things a BS 9792-era product gets right
Built for the standard, not retrofitted to it.
01
Section structure mirrors the standard
Building description, fire safety arrangements, observations against each part of the building, significant findings, action plan, sign-off block. The standard’s order, not a vendor’s.
02
Evidence linkage is the default
The standard’s sharpest change is the explicit evidence model. Every significant finding carries the photo, observation, and location that justifies it.
03
Competence in the data, not just on the form
Both the lead assessor and the reviewer record their competence basis at sign-off, in line with PAS 7:2024 referenced by BS 9792.
What this looks like in practice
Walking a 32-flat block under BS 9792:2025.
On a typical Tuesday, the assessor walks every common floor of a four-storey purpose-built block. Each observation attaches to the BS 9792 section it belongs to as it is recorded. Photos link to findings. Risk scores are assigned in context. The tablet captures the location, the assessor, and the time alongside each finding so the audit trail starts on site, not back at the desk.
Tuesday evening the report is already drafted against the standard. The narrative findings use BS 9792 vocabulary because the source data is structured to it, with the right sections in the right order and the standard’s evidence model running underneath. The assessor edits paragraphs where judgement calls require, and queues the report for the competent reviewer.
Wednesday the reviewer opens the exception queue. High-risk findings, AI-drafted paragraphs, and any changes since the last assessment on this building are surfaced first, so the reviewer reads what matters rather than every paragraph in order. Sign-off records the reviewer’s competence basis and the version of the standard the assessment was conducted against. Thursday the landlord receives a BS 9792-shaped report with the audit trail attached and the action register populated for close-out tracking on the next review.
How we build
Designed beside experienced UK housing fire risk assessors.
FRA Flow is built in close collaboration with practising fire risk assessors who run UK housing FRAs every week. Every workflow choice, from how observations attach to BS 9792 sections to how the reviewer queue surfaces exceptions, is informed by real housing assessment work, not generic compliance-software thinking.
That collaboration shapes our editorial discipline too. Pages on this site are reviewed by people who have done the work, not by generalist marketers. We do not publish invented metrics, we do not run a "trusted by" logo bar before a customer has shipped a report through the platform, and pre-pilot status is stated where it applies.
01
Pages are dated. Every meaningful page carries an Updated date stamp.02
Pages are attributed. Every page has a named author byline.03
Stop-slop discipline. Every push that touches marketing copy goes through an automated scan that blocks AI drama before deploy.04
BS 9792 references are sourced. Standards content links to BSI, legislation.gov.uk, and our own standards reference.Plans and pricing
Priced like a report production system.
Reviewer and admin seats are free on every paid tier. Report credits are pooled across the team so one busy assessor does not run out while another has spare capacity. Annual billing saves around 17 percent. See full tiers, including the free tier and Enterprise, on the pricing page.

How we compare
Where FRA Flow fits next to the tools you have used.
If your team currently uses Word templates and a photo folder, FRA Flow replaces the reconciliation work between visit and report. Observations land in structured form on site, photos attach to findings as you record them, and the reviewer sees a clean queue instead of a finished document. See the Word FRA template alternative page for a side by side.
If your team uses PocketSurvey, you keep the tablet-first capture you are used to and pick up the report-drafting and reviewer workflow that PocketSurvey leaves to you. Read the PocketSurvey alternative write-up for the detail.
If your team uses Riskbase, the change is positioning. Riskbase is form-builder oriented and PAS 79-shaped. FRA Flow is BS 9792-shaped and built around the reviewer being the bottleneck. The Riskbase alternative page covers what moves and what does not.
FAQ
Questions buyers ask before they commit to a new workflow.
FAQ 01
Is BS 9792:2025 actually different from PAS 79-2?
Yes. BS 9792:2025 takes the housing focus PAS 79-2 introduced and lifts it into a full British Standard, with sharper scoping, a more explicit evidence model, tighter wording on competence, and clearer guidance on periodic and significant-change reviews. Our PAS 79 vs BS 9792 guide covers the practical differences for assessors and consultancies.
FAQ 02
Will my landlord client accept a BS 9792-formatted report?
Most UK housing landlords have either updated their FRA brief to BS 9792:2025 or will do so in the current cycle. PAS 79 is no longer the maintained reference. A BS 9792-shaped report is what serious housing landlords, insurers, and tribunals will increasingly expect.
FAQ 03
Is AI in fire safety reports a liability risk?
AI in FRA Flow accelerates drafting but never signs off. Every AI-generated paragraph is editable, auditable, and traceable to the photo, observation, or risk score that produced it. The competent person signs off the report, not the AI. The audit trail records who approved which version against which evidence, which strengthens defensibility under the Fire Safety Order 2005 rather than weakening it.
FAQ 04
Where is our customer data stored?
All customer data, including database, file storage, and AI inference, runs in UK or EU regions only. Nothing leaves the European Economic Area. Full security and data-handling details are on the security page.
FAQ 05
What does pricing actually cost a small consultancy?
A 5-assessor Practice team is £249 base plus 5 × £49 = £494 per month on monthly billing, or roughly £394 per month on annual. That includes 40 pooled report credits per month, free reviewer and admin seats, and per-landlord branding. Overage is £12 per report. Full breakdown on the pricing page.
FAQ 06
How long does it take to switch from PAS 79 templates?
A single assessor can run their next FRA in FRA Flow on day one. Migration of historical PAS 79 reports is not required: FRA Flow becomes the system for new BS 9792 assessments and annual reviews going forward. Most contractors find their first BS 9792 report through FRA Flow takes about the same time as an old PAS 79 Word report, and every subsequent report is faster.
