BEFORE TEMPORARY OCCUPATION PERMIT

Building developers or building owners must obtain the Fibre Readiness Certification from NetLink Trust before applying for the Temporary Occupation Permit (TOP) from the relevant authority.

The requirement for Fibre Readiness Certification is applicable to all new residential developments, with the exception of single landed dwelling-house unit.

HIGH-RISE RESIDENTIAL PROJECTS WITH MAIN DISTRIBUTION FRAME (MDF) ROOMS

The application for a Fibre Readiness Certification must be done at least five months before obtaining the TOP of the development on a per-block basis. In cases where each individual block of HDB, condominium or high-rise apartment within the same development has different TOP dates, the building developer has to apply for the Fibre Readiness Certification individually.

LANDED RESIDENTIAL PROJECTS WITHOUT MAIN DISTRIBUTION FRAME (MDF) ROOMS

Under the latest COPIF 2018, Fibre Readiness Certification is optional for new single landed dwelling-house but if the existing property has undergone additional & alteration (A&A) work that affects existing telecommunication facilities, either the building developer or homeowner must inform the Telecommunication Facility Co-ordination Committee (TFCC) at least three months before obtaining TOP via https://www.corenet2-ess.gov.sg.  

APPLY FOR FIBRE READINESS CERTIFICATION

Fibre Readiness Certification is a requirement under the Code of Practice for Info-Communication Facilities in Buildings 2018 (COPIF 2018) issued by the Infocomm Media Development Authority of Singapore (IMDA) and effective on 15 December 2018.
For more information on COPIF 2018 and the COPIF Guidelines, please visit IMDA’s website.

LIST OF LICENSED NBN CONTRACTORS

To obtain the Fibre Readiness Certification, developers or building owners need to engage licensed NBN contractors to install the fibre cables from the telecom riser to the unit’s Distribution Board (DB) closet / Utility Closet / Utility Room or from the meter compartment / gate pillar to the unit’s DB closet.

1. The contractors who appear in the list (Listed Contractors) have informed NetLink Trust that they are able to perform works related to the installation of termination points or underground telecommunications works, whichever applies (as of 1 October 2023). For the avoidance of doubt, developers / building owners must directly enter into a separate contract with the Listed Contractors.

Developers / building owners who wish to engage the services of any of the Listed Contractors are encouraged to independently verify the current ability and capacity of the Listed Contractor to provide the desired services.
