Australian Standards That Govern Fire Equipment
At AFP Groups, all fire equipment servicing is carried out in strict accordance with the relevant Australian Standards. Here is what governs each category of equipment we service:
Portable Fire Extinguishers The manufacture of portable fire extinguishers is governed by the suite of Standards AS1841. Regular servicing ensures your extinguishers remain operational and compliant at all times, ready to be used effectively in an emergency.
Fire Blankets The manufacture of fire blankets is governed by AS/NZS 3504. Fire blankets must be inspected regularly to ensure they are undamaged, correctly mounted, and accessible in an emergency situation.
Classification, Rating and Performance Testing The classification, rating, and performance testing of fire extinguishers are outlined in AS1850. This standard ensures every extinguisher is correctly rated for the type of fire risk present in your specific environment.
Selection and Location of Fire Extinguishers and Fire Blankets The selection and location of fire extinguishers and fire blankets is predicated by AS2444. Correct placement is critical — the right equipment must be positioned where it is most accessible and effective.
Maintenance of Portable Fire Equipment The maintenance of all portable fire equipment items is controlled by AS1851. Routine servicing carried out under this standard ensures your equipment performs reliably when it is needed most.
Why Regular Fire Equipment Servicing Matters for Melbourne Businesses
Routine fire equipment maintenance is not just a legal obligation — it is a fundamental responsibility to your staff, tenants, and visitors. Under Victorian fire safety compliance laws, building owners and occupiers must ensure all fire protection systems are regularly inspected, tested, and maintained by a licensed provider.
Failing to maintain your fire equipment can result in:
- Heavy fines and legal liability under Victorian legislation
- Failed fire safety audits and compliance notices
- Invalidated building insurance in the event of a fire
- Serious risk to life and property in an emergency
Our team at Australia Fire Protection provides thorough fire safety inspections across Melbourne, delivering detailed compliance reports that give you complete confidence your building meets all current Australian standards.
