FAQs
What standards do your fire system maintenance and inspection services comply with?
Our maintenance and inspection services follow AS 1851 – Routine Service of Fire Protection Systems and Equipment, which is the primary Australian Standard for scheduled inspection, testing and maintenance. We also reference AS 2293 for emergency and exit lighting, and applicable standards for fire detection, EWIS and special hazard systems to ensure ongoing compliance and safety.
Why is regular fire system maintenance required for my building?
Regular maintenance ensures fire protection systems are reliable, compliant and ready to operate when needed. Scheduled inspection, testing and servicing helps you meet legal and regulatory requirements, supports audit readiness, strengthens insurance compliance and reduces unexpected failures.
How often should fire protection systems be inspected and tested?
Fire systems are tested at prescribed intervals defined by AS 1851, including monthly, six-monthly, annual and five-year checks depending on the system type. This includes detection systems, sprinklers, hydrants, hose reels, emergency lighting and other essential safety measures.
Can ALCAN Fire Safety rectify defects found during inspections?
Yes. When defects or non-compliances are identified during inspection and testing, our technicians provide clear reporting and can assist with defect rectification, repair recommendations and quote options to keep your site compliant and audit-ready.
Do you manage logbooks, asset registers and compliance documentation?
Yes. We provide transparent digital logbooks, asset registers, test sheets, defect lists with photos and as-found/as-left reports that support compliance, audits and preparation of Annual Fire Safety Statements.
Will maintenance help with Annual Fire Safety Statement (AFSS) requirements?
Routine testing and reporting in accordance with AS 1851 forms a key part of compliance data used for AFSS preparation. While AFSS endorsement requires an Accredited Practitioner, our detailed reports and condition assessments support your compliance pathways and documentation.
What happens if a system fails during inspection?
If a system fails to meet performance criteria during inspection, our technicians document the findings, classify defects based on urgency, issue recommendations and can assist with remediation planning to help restore compliance promptly.
