AS 1851, together with the applicable Australian Standards, National Construction Code (NCC), Building Code of Australia (BCA), and Western Australian Building Regulations 2012, governs the routine inspection, testing and preventive maintenance of fire protection systems and equipment in your building.
Every fire safety measure carries its own inspection frequency, testing requirements and permitted tolerances.
A test performed outside the prescribed tolerance is not simply a late test. It may constitute a compliance breach and must be accurately documented in the building's fire safety maintenance records.
Most contractors test. Fewer produce a record that holds up when somebody asks for it twelve months later, and the gap shows at statement time when a year of loose paperwork has to be reconciled against a deadline. Applied Fire Technology schedules all routine testing and rectification through its service management system, so tests happen inside the AS1851 window rather than near it, and you can see that they did. Defects surface as they are found rather than in a list that lands the week your account is due. And the technicians who assess your building at the end of the year are the same business that tested it all year.
Scheduled inspection across every essential measure in the building, run to the frequencies and tolerances the standard sets rather than to a convenient interval. Each visit is recorded against the measure, the date and the technician, so the annual record assembles itself instead of being reconstructed under deadline.
Testing of detection devices, fire indicator panels, emergency warning and intercommunication systems, and verification that signals reach the monitoring service. Faults on a detection system are almost never visible from the ground, which is the entire reason the test regime exists.
Testing of residential smoke alarms including those inside sole occupancy units, covering type, operation, location and condition. In strata and residential buildings this is the measure most often incomplete, because access depends on residents rather than on common property.
Servicing and inspection of portable and first attack equipment, covering pressure, condition, accessibility and signage. The most commonly failed items in any audit, and usually for the same reason, which is that something has been stored in front of them.
Routine testing of sprinkler and drencher systems, hydrants, hose reels and fire pump sets, including the flow and pressure checks the standard requires. On larger sites this is where distance and coverage turn a compliant design into a performance question.
Testing to AS2293 including the 90 minute discharge test that confirms the system performs for its rated duration rather than simply illuminating when you press the button.
Inspection of fire doors, fire seals and stopping, and penetrations through building elements. Passive measures fail silently, which makes them the easiest part of a building to leave uninspected and the hardest to defend if they are.
