What is an AFSS?

The AFSS is a legal document that confirms your building’s fire safety systems, like alarms, exit lights, sprinklers, and MECHANICAL AIR, have been inspected by a qualified expert and are functioning as they should. Once completed, the AFSS must be submitted to your local council and Fire and Rescue NSW each year, with a copy displayed in a prominent location in your building. Failing to submit on time can result in serious fines and liability for the Owners Corporation or building owner.

Why is the AFSS so important?

The AFSS is not just a formality, it plays a vital role in safeguarding your building and everyone in it.

  • Life safety: It confirms that essential fire safety systems are in working order to protect residents, visitors, and emergency services in the event of a fire.
  • Legal compliance: Submitting an AFSS each year is a legal obligation for buildings that require one. Failure to comply can result in fines and enforcement action.
  • Insurance and liability: An up-to-date AFSS can impact your building’s insurance coverage and its ability to claim in the event of a fire-related incident.
What Is AS1851?

Australian Standard AS1851 has been designed to ensure that all fire equipment is in optimal working condition at any given period especially in the event of a fire. Fire Service Technicians refer to AS1851 as the Bible for the Fire Services Industry. The installation standard for each service comes first and then after the commissioning has been completed, AS1851 is to be followed.
