Event Overview
The 2016 edition of the National Construction Code Building Code of Australia has changed from a yearly revision cycle to a 3 yearly revision cycle. There has also been significant changes to the fire protection systems maintenance standard with a number of referenced Australian Standards relating to fire safety systems updated. Furthermore Australian Standard AS 1851 for maintenance of fire protection systems has also recently been updated to include an emphasis on baseline data for assessing compliance of installed fire protection systems.
This presentation will provide an overview of recent changes to key fire protection system standards, including the AS 1851 maintenance standard with particular attention to the issue of baseline data. It will provide guidance on what constitutes baseline data, industry myths, and what practical measures may be taken to capture and document the baseline data for complaint fire protection systems in a building.
