Most sites follow AS1851. As a guide, alarms and panels are inspected monthly. Extinguishers and hose reels are six-monthly. Sprinklers, hydrants and pumps have set monthly, quarterly and annual tasks. High-risk facilities in Sydney, Newcastle, the Central Coast and Wollongong often add quarterly reviews. We align checks to operations and keep audit-ready records for insurers and councils.

AS1851 sets routine inspections, functional tests and annual verification. We combine alarm servicing with detector cleaning, battery checks and fault rectification and provide clear reports and reminders.

It depends on the hazard. Clean agent suits IT and switchboards. Water mist limits water use. Wet chemicals are essential for commercial kitchens. We assess heat load, ventilation, enclosure integrity and insurer requirements for NSW sites.

Vehicles typically use pre-engineered systems that discharge automatically in engine bays and compartments. Marine vessels may use CO2, a clean agent, foam, or a water mist in unoccupied zones, depending on the type of fuel and class rules. We design and service both across Sydney, Newcastle, the Central Coast and Wollongong.

Detectors report to the fire panel, which manages release logic and building responses such as fan shutdowns, door releases and brigade or monitoring notifications. We design integration to minimise false alarms and capture event data.

Insurers commonly request current AS1851 service reports, defect close-outs, test certificates, asset registers, cause-and-effect diagrams, and training evidence. We bundle these into a single pack.

Appropriately qualified practitioners must perform certification and inspection. We allocate FPAS-accredited personnel for alarms, suppression, and specialised systems, as well as EAHL-licensed technicians where agent handling is required. We then issue the documentation councils and insurers expect.

Yes. We often use a clean agent or water mist to avoid water damage and reduce intrusive work. We coordinate with heritage consultants and councils and provide detailed as-built drawings.

AS1851 requires annual enclosure integrity testing for gaseous rooms and cylinder testing on five- and ten-year cycles depending on the agent and vessel type. FPT NSW schedules, tests, rectifies leaks, and issues certificates to maintain compliance.

Yes. Some extinguishing agents require an Extinguishing Agent Handling Licence (EAHL) for handling and servicing. FPT NSW assigns EAHL licensed technicians to these tasks and advises your team on what work must be completed by licensed personnel.
