Owners Annual Fire Safety Assessment

It should be noted that the building owner is responsible to ensure ALL fire safety measures are capable of performing to the relevant standard of performance in accordance with the Environmental Planning and Assessment (EP&A) Reg 2000, Division 5 Fire Safety Statements clauses 175 through 181. However, the EP&A Reg does not distinguish a hierarchy or defect classification, meaning ALL non-compliances are to be rectified in order to meet the Annual Fire Safety Statement (AFSS) requirements.

 

6 Monthly Inspection Compulsory or not?

The Environmental Planning & Assessment Regulation 2000 is the legislative framework for the Annual Fire Safety Statement (AFSS). 

AS1851 is the Australian Standard for the Routine Service of fire protection systems and equipment. In NSW, AS1851 is technically a voluntary standard as it is not legislated, nor is it a primary or secondary referenced document in the Building Code of Australia (BCA). However it will come into effect in February 2025.

Although AS1851 is generally accepted throughout the Fire Protection Industry as the primary method for service, inspection, test, maintenance and ultimately the performance of a fire protection system or fire protection equipment. It should be noted that it may, in some cases not be sufficient enough to constitute performance in relation to the AFSS. This is subject to the particular fire safety measure, it’s minimum standard of performance, and the building characteristics.
