Code of Practice for Info-communication Facilities in Buildings

The purpose of the Code of Practice for Info-communication Facilities in Buildings (COPIF) is to ensure that developers and/or owners of buildings and developments provide adequate space and facilities for the deployment and operation of installation and plant; these are equipment used for providing info-communication services to the buildings. By adhering to IMDA regulations, building developers and owners can ensure that sufficient space and facilities are available for the installation and operation of equipment.

The COPIF also specifies the duties to be observed by developers, building/development owners and telecommunication licensees about the provision, maintenance and utilisation of the relevant space and facilities provided, as directed under COPIF. Since its inception on 1 April 2000, the COPIF has been reviewed and revised when appropriate to ensure its continued relevance in light of the evolving requirements for info-communication facilities. The latest COPIF 2018 and COPIF Guidelines are effective as of 15 December 2018.
