- What testing time frames should I follow as a site owner?
Testing time frames are dependent on the equipment held within your site. The 'Australian fire safety standards' set forth the regulations for testing time frames required for fire safety equipment. Extinguishers, hose reels, smoke and heat alarms, fire doors, emergency lighting and exit signs, fire indicating panels, evacuation alarm systems, gas suppression systems, and hydrants all require mandatory inspection in order to assure compliance with these standards, with non-complaint site owners risking significant fines.
At assurance fire protection, we often find that our sites will require monthly, six-monthly and/or annual testing depending on the specific equipment held within the property. Please contact us for information on testing time frames specific to your site.
- Where can I purchase a fire extinguisher that meets Australian standards?
AS1851-2012 and AS2444-200

- What is an "ANNUAL FIRE SAFETY STATEMENT" and Does my site need one?
An annual fire safety statement is a declaration by or on behalf of a building owner that a competent fire safety practitioner (CFSP) has:
- Assessed, inspected and verified the performance of each existing essential fire safety measure that applies to the building,
and
- Inspected the exit systems serving the building and found that the exit systems within the building do not contravene the provisions of Division 7 of Part 9 of the Regulation.
