SFG20 compliance software that connects maintenance schedules to CalmCompliance PPM: sync regimes, classify tasks by criticality, and keep audit evidence in one place.
Developed by the Building Engineering Services Association (BESA), SFG20 is used and advocated by over 2,500 organisations worldwide.
New to SFG20? Read our plain-English guide to what SFG20 is and how it works.
Supporting facilities managers, building owners, FM contractors and consultants across a wide range of sectors, SFG20 provides clear, compliant maintenance standards that help organisations manage risk, stay aligned with current legislation and keep buildings safe and operational.
CalmCompliance SFG20 compliance software embeds those schedules into your planned preventative maintenance (PPM) workflows, so the standard is not stuck in a separate portal while your team works elsewhere.
SFG20 compliance software is for FM contractors mobilising onto client contracts that name SFG20, and for multi-site estate teams that already license Facilities-iQ and need regimes running as live PPM with evidence attached.
If you are still learning the standard itself — what SFG20 means, how schedules work, or how red/amber/green criticality is used — start with our [definitional guide](/blog/what-is-sfg20). This page is the product and sync story.
Established in 1990 to create a standardised approach to building maintenance, SFG20 is now the recognised benchmark for maintenance specification.
Trusted across sectors including healthcare, infrastructure, commercial property and manufacturing, with customers such as NHS, National Grid, Network Rail, Transport for London, Royal Mail, GSK, Bupa, IKEA, Airbus, CBRE and Mitie.
SFG20 provides detailed maintenance guidance including instructions, frequency, duration, required skillsets and criticality.
CalmCompliance syncs tailored SFG20 regimes from Facilities-iQ into your PPM calendar: tasks arrive with frequencies, skill requirements and Red, Pink, Amber or Green classification intact.
When engineers complete work in CalmCompliance, completions pass back to SFG20 so the standard's record stays current. Evidence — dates, outcomes and attachments — remains linked to the asset and site in CalmCompliance for audit.
Approved schedule updates from BESA flow through Facilities-iQ; your local regime and PPM programme need a review step after plant changes or portfolio acquisitions so the live calendar matches the current library.
Red tasks support legal compliance for the linked duty. In CalmCompliance they stay visible in the PPM programme with clear ownership, due dates and overdue status — not merged into a generic maintenance bucket.
Completing a red task logs who did the work, when it finished and what evidence was attached. That trail is what turns SFG20 content into a defensible statutory programme rather than a library sitting unused in a separate login.
An auditor or client reviewer typically asks which statutory tasks were due, whether they ran on time, who completed them and what proof exists against the asset.
With SFG20 compliance software connected to CalmCompliance, those answers come from the PPM record: the criticality classification, the completion date, the person or team, and the evidence file — without reconstructing a folder from emails and spreadsheets.
You need an active SFG20 / Facilities-iQ licence with regimes tailored for your sites or contracts. The CalmCompliance SFG20 integration is available on request for teams that already hold that licence.
Typical setup: map assets between Facilities-iQ and CalmCompliance, sync the relevant regimes into PPM, confirm red and pink tasks are owned and scheduled, then run a short pilot site before rolling out across the portfolio.
SFG20's Mobiliser module can accelerate asset mapping — reducing mobilisation time by up to 95% while keeping control of the regime — and SFG20 Professional Services support configuration where needed.
Facilities-iQ provides access to over 1,500 maintenance schedules across a wide range of building systems and assets.
It enables you to build site-specific maintenance regimes, tailor schedules and receive automatic updates when BESA revises content.
And many more, ensuring a consistent approach across your estate.
SFG20's Professional Services team supports implementation, configuration and asset mapping. Discover how SFG20 and CalmCompliance can support your organisation.
