Understanding AS1851 Fire Safety Inspection Standards
Note: This article is intended as a general guide only, and should not be taken as legal or professional advice. It’s essential to consult with a qualified professional or seek advice from your managing agent if you have specific questions or concerns about strata living.
Fire safety services within a strata development form a critical barrier between life and death. Changes in the way in which service contractors perform regular maintenance checks on the apparatus within a property are coming.
In this webinar, we explain upcoming changes to fire testing and inspection requirements, pursuant to Australian Standard 1851-2012 that will become mandatory from February 2026.
AS1851 requires that ALL fire safety equipment be inspected annually, meaning access to your premises each year will be mandatory, and add another level of complexity to the annual fire inspection process.
Watch this webinar to learn more about how these changes will impact the management and administration of your scheme!
