FM Approvals is an independent and highly reputable testing and certification organization in the industry. It is also regarded as a prestigious certification for product quality. Headquartered in Boston, USA, FM Approvals operates under FM Global (FMG), one of the world’s leading property insurance groups.
Achieving FM Approvals certification demonstrates that a facility has strictly complied with FM Global's standards for design, construction, material selection, and operation under its safety regulations. The assessment process by FM Global ensures that the facility attains a high level of risk prevention through stringent and rigorous quality standards.
FM Data Sheet (FMDS) is a set of technical standards and risk management guidelines applied to high-end factory projects worldwide. In recent years, Vietnam's construction market, particularly foreign direct investment (FDI) projects, has increasingly emphasized purchasing FMG insurance to optimize risk management processes. As a result, implementing a project—from design, material selection, to construction—in full compliance with FMG's guidelines has become an essential standard.
SOL E&C has successfully conducted the fire protection system acceptance for the Coca-Cola Long An factory project, one of the key components under the FMDS standards.
As a leading Design & Build general contractor in the industrial construction sector, SOL E&C has been collaborating with numerous multinational corporations to deliver design, construction, and installation of MEPF systems for factories certified with FM Approvals.

Achieving FM Approval certification is a complex process that requires companies or products to comply with FM Global's stringent standards. These standards are designed to ensure the highest level of safety against risks such as fire, explosions, natural disasters, and other industrial and construction hazards. As a result, the general contractor for FM Approvals-certified projects must have a team of highly qualified engineers with in-depth knowledge of FMDS, experience in collaborating with FM Global engineers, and practical expertise in executing FM Approvals-compliant projects. In addition to constructing FM Approvals-certified projects, SOL E&C also serves as the Design & Build general contractor for numerous projects meeting international standards such as LEED and EDGE, while ensuring compliance with current QCVN and TCVN Standards.
