Issue Date: May 2024
This unit of competency supports fire protection technicians responsible for functional testing of water-based fire protection systems.
It does not apply to water supply proving tests on hydrant systems, or inspection and testing functions associated with pressure-reducing equipment in high rise buildings, fire pumpset systems or water supply tanks.
Individuals operate within the scope of their defined roles and responsibilities and perform the inspections and testing as part of their work duties to verify that equipment functions as intended, according to work procedures and Australian standards.
The unit must be applied strictly according to relevant state or territory legislative and industry requirements.
This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to complete six-monthly and yearly inspections and test procedures to verify that hydrant systems function as intended.
The unit involves working safely, conducting compliance tests, visually inspecting, identifying non-compliance defects, fulfilling mandatory reporting requirements, as well as isolating and resetting the hydrant system.
