SCHEDULE

AS 2118.1 Public Comment DraftRepresentatives of FPA Australia Technical Advisory Committee TAC/4/8/9 (Fire Sprinkler & Hydrants Systems, Tanks and Fixed Fire Pumps) have been assisting Standards Australia committee FP 004 with the revision of AS 2118.1 (Automatic Fire Sprinkler Systems). The proposed changes reflect contemporary technologies and meet criteria for Building Code of Australia adoption.

This forum is aimed at informing and co-ordinating broad industry feedback to the Public Comment Draft of AS 2118.1. The revised Standard is scheduled to be released for public comment in February 2015, providing an opportunity for review and feedback for further consideration by FP 004 prior to its completion and release.

This forum will provide a broad overview of the proposed changes and the anticipated effects and benefits to clients, the industry and the environment. It will also outline the approach taken to meet Australian Building Codes Board (ABCB) protocols and how comments provided to FPA Australia will be consolidated into an industry submission to Standards Australia in relation to the Public Comment Draft.

FPAS – Design and CertifyFPA Australia recently announced the launch of the next two classes of accreditation under the Fire Protection Accreditation Scheme (FPAS): Fire Systems Design and Fire Systems Certification.

These classes will accredit individuals who perform these activities relating to selected systems and equipment in the fire protection industry. Initially the Scheme will focus on design and certify activities associated with the following systems and equipment:• Fire Sprinkler Systems• Fire Hydrant Systems• Fire Detection and Alarm Systems.

The forum will provide information on the opportunities available to individuals and businesses to apply for accreditation and recognition respectively, and the process to be followed for those seeking to be accredited.
