TESTING AND REPORTING

Fire Boar will distribute a reporting and time management system that is efficient, consistent and most importantly easy to understand, process and file so it's always on-hand. Through our website you will have an opportunity to view testing and maintenance requirements.

We would like to help you understand the objectives in maintaining your fire equipment.

Product Testing

The new requirements of AS 1851-2005 was called up by the Building Fire Safety Regulations 1991 and testing requirements became mandatory from July 2006. In accordance with AS 1851-2005 the maintenance of fire systems has implemented a set of directions to follow:

  • Inspection
  • Testing
  • Preventative maintenance
  • Survey
Scopes of Work:
  • A critical defect must be reported immediately, notified within 24 hours and rectified 'with minimum delay'.
  • A non-critical defect must be reported within one week and rectified 'within one month'.

Reporting

Our team will report at the beginning of every month all systems and equipment on your site that is found to be still in defect. In the report we will provide the following:

  • The type of system serviced (i.e. hydrant system)
  • The reported ID reference number
  • The technician who reported the defect
  • The status of the defect (critical or non-critical)
  • A quoted cost of rectifying the defect
  • The section of AS 1851-2005 serviced (i.e. Section 5 Hydrants)
  • An Annual Certified Condition Report will also be provided at the end of each contract year and includes all testing and maintenance completed in the 12 month period.
  • All outstanding defects will be listed until rectified.
  • After the rectification of work has been carried out by the customer we will require the following information:
    1. Name and license number of the contractor who completed the work
    2. Date the work was completed
    3. Confirmation the work has been completed in accordance with the Australian Standards (e-mail or by fax is sufficient)

    NOTE: We recommend that the defective items be rectified as soon as possible to maintain the integrity and compliance of your equipment.

    Critical or Non-Critical

    Non-critical defects:

    Once received by our administrative team the non-critical defect is checked, the status confirmed and the appropriate report and quotation is issued and sent to the customer.

    Critical defects:

    Will be reported and notified to the customer by the technician and then reported to our administrative team. The critical defect will be confirmed, the status actioned, and the appropriate report and quotation will be faxed or e-mailed to the customer within 24 hours.

    We are committed to outstanding performance.
