This section specifies work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. |
Fire suppression solutions must include two of the following: | chemical systemsdetection and warning systems special hazard foam systems special hazard gaseous agent systemswater-based deluge or pre-action sprinkler systems. |
| |
Risk profile of the building or facility will reflect its use and must include details of: | users of and visitors to the site and the need to protect themvalue of the equipment, facility or goods storedsusceptibility of the stored goods to water or other forms of damage resulting from the use of different types of system. |
| |
Special hazard standards must include at least one standard from the following list: | relevant Australian standards, including:AS ISO 14520.1 Gaseous fire-extinguishing systems - Physical properties and system design - General requirementsAS4487 Condensed aerosol fire extinguishing systems - Requirements for system design, installation and commissioning and test methods for componentsUnited States National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards, including:NFPA 2001 Clean Agent Fire Extinguishing SystemsNFPA 11 Low, Medium and High Expansion Foam SystemsNFPA 11A Medium and High Expansion Foam SystemsNFPA 13 The Installation of Sprinkler SystemsNFPA 16 Deluge Foam-Water Sprinkler and Foam-Water Spray Systems. |
