Queensland Development Code (QDC) MP 6.1 outlines clear standards for maintaining fire safety installations, including fire extinguishers. The Building Fire Safety Regulation 2008 sets out the penalties for non-compliance with the code - up to 30 penalty units.
Knowing that you have a working fire suppression system gives you the assurance that you'll be able to deal with fire emergencies when they occur. It also gives your tenants or occupants the peace of mind knowing that they are protected.
According to the AS1851, fire extinguisher test, maintenance, and refill services should be done:
All portable and wheeled fire extinguishers should be tested every 6 months
Pressure testing and refills should be done at least once every 5 years unless they are Foam filled types, which require the foam to be replaced annually.
During inspections, our team will check for physical damages to the fire extinguishers, including cracks or corrosion.
After the physical inspection, we also carry out the relevant inspection prompts in accordance with Australian Standard (AS1851). Below are an overview of some items our team check during the routine maintenance:
Safety and Fire Experts carry out inspections and maintenance while keeping state and national regulations in mind.
Once the testing has been carried out, a service tag and certification will be provided as proof of compliance.
