Changes to sprinkler and suppression systems licences

Image

Key changes for transitioning licensees:

• New definitions for domestic and residential fire sprinkler systems and commercial or industrial type sprinkler systems have been included (and reference to AS2118 removed).
• There are changes for licensees who transitioned to the new ‘certify’ classes. 
• ‘Install and maintain’ classes automatically transitioned to the most relevant new ‘install and maintain’ class. 
• The former ‘inspect and test’ class automatically transitioned to the new ‘install and maintain’ class – the broader scope means:
  • licensees will be able to carry out all types of installation and maintenance of fire sprinkler systems 
  • incidental installation of fire collars will also be included.
• The new water-based fire system stream now includes work on fire hydrant systems and fire hose reels – with or without pumps in the scope of work for all classes.

Former licence classes that have transitioned:

• Sprinkler and suppression systems (reticulated water-based) PI*
• Sprinkler and suppression systems (reticulated water-based) – occupational.
