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 systems detection and warning systems special hazard foam systems special hazard gaseous agent systems water-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 them value of the equipment, facility or goods stored susceptibility 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 requirements AS4487 Condensed aerosol fire extinguishing systems - Requirements for system design, installation and commissioning and test methods for components United States National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards, including: NFPA 2001 Clean Agent Fire Extinguishing Systems NFPA 11 Low, Medium and High Expansion Foam Systems NFPA 11A Medium and High Expansion Foam Systems NFPA 13 The Installation of Sprinkler Systems NFPA 16 Deluge Foam-Water Sprinkler and Foam-Water Spray Systems. |
| |
Fire detection and occupant warning solutions must include: | fire alarms fire gas detectors flame detectors heat-sensing detectors smoke-sensing detectors. |
| |
File naming must include: | accurate naming and filing of drawings, including formal document control and amendments: history transmittal notices naming conventions for design drawings and drawing registers. |
| |
Interactions between multiple systems on a complex site must be analysed to: | ensure most effective selection of systems to protect different assets maximise effectiveness of systems maximise efficiency of installation process. |
| |
Efficient and workable layout and location must consider: | access constraints aesthetic requirements conflict with other services efficiencies to facilitate work on site installation problems penetrations reduction of labour costing work health and safety risks. |
| |
System components must include: | brackets discharge nozzles fire panels pipework system valves zone valves. |
| |
Calculations that relate to the special hazard fire systems must include: | foam system calculations. gaseous system calculations hydraulic calculations to assess pressure requirements and confirm pipe sizes water-spray system calculations. |
| |
Infrastructure for special hazard fire system solutions must include: | delivery systems for the suppression agent pipework storage containers tanks. |
| |
Negotiated change must include one made due to: | impact on cost-effectiveness impact on installation risks and constraints non-compliance with applicable legislation, codes and standards. |
| |
Fittings and components must include: | control valves elbows hangers pipe fabrication methods and constraints pumps sprinkler heads tanks tees. |
