Australia has some of the strictest fire systems compliance standards in the world. Multiple compliance measures, rigorous testing, and inspections ensure that both residential and commercial fire water containment systems remain safe and functional. Australia’s ultra-strict, carefully constructed industry compliance laws have proven to be incredibly successful in reducing and preventing uncontrollable fire hazards.
As a building owner, you are legally responsible for ensuring that all fire water tanks and suppression systems are always up to code, meeting or exceeding Australian Fire Tank Inspection Standard AS1851-2012.

Regular, or routine, inspections ensure that your fire water systems comply with the latest industry code, which is professionally developed and constantly updated.
Industry regulations and safety and maintenance standards are constantly changing, sometimes with little or no notice. These changes can put Australian building owners at risk of unintentionally violating new or improved state-specific or nationwide rules.
It is important to understand that meeting the minimum Australian industry safety and compliance standards is mandatory. Failure to do so can result in hefty fines and other legal consequences.
