BOMBA Fire Safety Inspection Malaysia 2026: Is Your Factory or Building Ready?
JBPM carried out 21,000 building inspections in 2025 and issued 11,260 notices nationwide. For factory, warehouse and commercial building owners, this is a timely reminder to ensure fire protection systems are properly maintained and ready for inspection.
Malaysia Is Strengthening Fire Safety Inspections
Fire protection is not something building owners should only think about after receiving an authority notice or when an emergency occurs.
According to a report by BERNAMA dated 9 February 2026, Malaysia's Housing and Local Government Minister Nga Kor Ming said the Fire and Rescue Department of Malaysia (JBPM) conducted approximately 21,000 building inspections during 2025, exceeding its original target of 18,000 inspections.
During the same period, 11,260 notices were issued to 1,612 premises throughout Malaysia.

Read Original BERNAMA Report →What Does This Mean for Factory & Building Owners?
The figures show that fire safety inspections remain an important part of Malaysia's overall fire prevention efforts. Business owners should not assume that an installed system will remain compliant and reliable indefinitely without inspection, testing and maintenance.
Regular Inspection Matters
Fire protection equipment may deteriorate, malfunction or become unsuitable as a building changes over time.
Maintenance Cannot Wait
A sprinkler, alarm, hydrant or hose reel system must remain operational when an actual emergency happens.
Compliance Should Be Planned Early
Early fire safety planning can reduce unexpected rectification work, approval delays and operational disruption.
Fire Protection Checklist for Existing Buildings
If you operate a factory, warehouse, commercial property or industrial facility in Johor, consider reviewing the condition and maintenance status of your fire protection systems before problems arise.
This checklist is intended as general fire safety guidance and should not be treated as an official BOMBA inspection checklist. Requirements may vary according to building type, usage, risk category, system design and applicable authority requirements.
When Should You Review Your Fire Protection System?
Factory Expansion
Additional production areas, machinery or storage can change the fire risk profile of the premises.
Warehouse Changes
New racks, higher storage levels or different materials may require a review of existing fire protection coverage.
Existing System Problems
Frequent alarm faults, low pressure, leaking pipes or ageing equipment should not be ignored.
