Maintenance of fire safety installations provides for the maintenance and record requirements for fire safety installations.

To ensure safety of building occupants and to protect a building, fire safety installations must be capable of performing to a standard no less than that which they were originally required to achieve.

If you are an owner or occupier of a building it is important to understand how you can identify if your building has prescribed fire safety installations and what your obligations are to maintain these.

The code has been designed to set clear performance criteria for the maintenance of fire safety installations allowing for a broad range of reference documents to be used. The new maintenance code applies to all buildings (including existing buildings) other than detached houses and townhouses.

If you have a prescribed fire safety installation in your building, then you must comply with the code.

Examples of fire safety installations include:

• Fire Extinguishers
• Fire Hose Reels
• Fire Hydrants
• Emergency Lighting
• Smoke Detectors or Alarm Systems
• Fire Doors
• Exit Signs
