2020 Fire Protection and/or others may have inspected and tested to AS1851-2012 and determined that these measures exist and work; a Accredited Practitioner (Fire Safety) – APFS must still attend, audit and verify whether the systems and equipment still perform as per the schedule. E.g. does the system perform and match the current risk.

From July 1st, 2020, the Accredited Practitioner (Fire Safety) engaged to endorse (sign-off) on each of those Essential Fire Safety Measures must be accredited to endorse that type of measure.

2020 Fire Protection is at the forefront of the accreditation process and has APFS’s ready to endorse the measures at your site.

The process required post July 1st 2020 is significantly more complex than in years past. It will require physical visits to site every year and independent verification of the inspection and testing results.  You can find more about it on the accreditation body’s site here: https://www.fpaa.com.au/Web/Web/Registers/FSA-Register-General.aspx
