Draft a statement listing a building’s essential fire safety measures and their standards of performance. A preparation aid — always lodge on the official form for your state.
| Measure | Standard of performance |
|---|---|
| Portable fire extinguishers | AS 2444 · maintained to AS 1851 |
| Fire detection & alarm system | AS 1670.1 · maintained to AS 1851 |
| Emergency lighting | AS 2293.1 · maintained to AS 2293.2 |
| Exit signs | AS 2293.1 · maintained to AS 2293.2 |
I declare that each of the essential fire safety measures listed above has been assessed by a competent fire safety practitioner and was found to be capable of performing to the standard of performance shown, and that the measures have been inspected and maintained in accordance with the relevant standards.
Add the building name, address, owner and the competent fire safety practitioner responsible for the assessment.
Tick each essential fire safety measure installed. The statement lists it with its standard of performance and maintenance standard.
Print or save the draft statement, then have it checked, signed and lodged as required in your state.
It’s a statement, issued periodically by a building owner, confirming that each essential fire safety measure in the building has been assessed by a competent person and is capable of performing to its required standard, and has been properly maintained. It’s a key part of ongoing fire safety compliance for many buildings.
No. This tool produces a draft that lists the measures and standards to help you prepare. The statutory form, who may issue it, the required wording and where it must be lodged differ by state — for example, New South Wales has a prescribed Annual Fire Safety Statement form and process. Always use the official form for your jurisdiction.
In many jurisdictions the assessment behind the statement must be carried out by an accredited or competent fire safety practitioner. Requirements vary, so check the rules that apply to your building and state.
They’re the fire safety systems and features a building relies on — extinguishers, hydrants, hose reels, sprinklers, detection and alarm, emergency lighting, exit signs, fire doors, smoke control and more. Each has a standard of performance and a maintenance standard, which the statement references.
This generator produces an unofficial draft to help you prepare, not a statutory Annual Fire Safety Statement. The required form, eligible signatories, wording and lodgement process vary by state (for example, NSW has a prescribed form). Assessment must be by a competent or accredited fire safety practitioner. Use the official form and process for your jurisdiction.
