What is Maintenance
Construction of building services does
not always finish at the time of
handover of the project, resulting in
fire protection systems that have not
been fully commissioned. The fire
safety services need to be completed
and commissioned in order for the
results of inspection and testing work
to be m
eaningful.

Maintenance & Audits
AS4655, Fire safety audits, provides a
methodology for examining, where
appropriate by a conventional process of
audit, fire safety m
easures in order to
satisfy appropriate benchmarks, such as
regulatory and insurance requirements.
AS1851 provides a set of requirements to
increase the probability that fire
protection systems will function and
perform
as intended by the respective
design, installation and commissioning
standards.

... but annual surveys conducted by insurance
industry also helped (these have ceased).
AS 1851, Maintenance of fire protection systems

quarter of a century.

“The revised inspection, test, preventive
maintenance and survey regimes in this Standard
address the functional aspects of installed fire
protection systems and equipment on a periodic
basis, with the objective that systems and
equipment operate effectively at all times.
The regimes aim to ensure that fire protection
systems and equipment are in working order
throughout the year or period of interest; not
only at the time of annual inspection and test.
A significant objective of this Standard is to
provide reliability of fire protection systems and
equipment, linking design, installation,
commissioning and m
aintenance”.

“Continuous correct functioning is a
basic criterion, and a new annual survey
requirement also assures that system
perform
ance capability (efficacy) is not
degraded by building or occupancy
changes, which could otherwise
adversely affect the capability of the
system to perform
as originally
intended”.

“AS1851 includes a requirement to annually test
all aspects of system interconnection; for
example, detection and alarm
systems with
atrium smoke exhaust plant, alarm
systems with
stairwell pressurization, automatic fire sprinkler
systems with HVAC fire m
ode operation and
warning facilities.
This will require adequate documentation of
interconnections between the various systems as
required in the design, installation and
commissioning standards.”

Survey
Visual inspection to identify if fire protection
systems or equipment have been altered,
damaged or compromised.
NOTE:This survey together with the inspection, test and preventive
maintenance regime demonstrates that the fire protection systemsor
equipment are functional and capable of perform
ing to a standard
not less
than that to which they were originally designed. A further goalis to
determ
ine that the system is not compromised by occupancy or building
alterations. Where a system upgrade has resulted in a change of the
perform
ance capability, the system should be appraised against the
upgraded level of perform
ance.

1.12 SYSTEMS INTERFACE
where systems are interfaced, such interface
shall be tested annually. Annual tests shall
take into account fire protection systems that
interface with other systems to perm
it fire
protection systems to function as intended at
the time of commissioning. A systems interface
diagram shall be displayed in the fire control
room or centre. See Table 1.12 for an example
of a typical systems interface diagram.

Clause 1.12 is followed by two notes:
NOTE 1 It is recommended that the building owner or the
building owner’s representative coordinate testing of
the
interfaced fire protection systems.
This may require the
attendance during testing of technicians specializing in fire
alarm
s, sprinklers, HVAC, electrical power and control, building
management, etc., to limit disruption………
NOTE 2 Automatic sprinkler and fire alarm
systems, when
activated, may be arranged to automatically cause operation of
the stair pressurization system, release fire doors, to prevent
the spread of fire, operate roof vents to perm
it products of
combustion to escape,
shutdown non-fire essential plant,
operate elevator override controls and automatically cause fire
pumpsetsto operate.

OBJECTIVE
The object of the annual systems interface
test is to verify:
•That all systems interfaces (interconnections)
are correctly connected;
and
•that, when the interface is activated (from for
example, the sprinkler system pressure
switch), the desired result occurs (eg the stair
pressurisation fan(s) operates, atrium
exhaust fans operate, HVAC system operates
in fire m
ode).

•Annual interface testing m
ay need to be
arranged well in advance with building owners
and with other technicians involved. It is
recommended that the building owner
coordinate such testing.
•Occupants of building need to be pre-advised by
building owner or manager. There m
ay be
security implications with interface testing.
•This prior notice should m
inimise disruptions
and ensure smooth conducted testing.

Annual interface testing m
ay (and usually will)
require the attendance of several specialist
technicians (eg sprinkler, electrical, HVAC, etc.)
Why?
To verify receipt of signal(s), to confirm
correct
operation of interfaced equipment and to ensure
that all isolators are open on completion of
testing.

and
•The desired result is verified at the interfaced
