Technical Documents
The FPA Australia Technical Department is responsible for the
development, implementation and management of the Association's
strategic policy on technical issues for the fire protection
industry.
The Department works with NTAC, TACs, SIGs and other
stakeholders to - among other activities - develop technical
documents that benefit members, the industry and the community.
These documents provide complementary, interpretative,
educational or provocative advice for the benefit of members,
industry and the community in accordance with the vision of the
Association.
There are several different types of FPA Australia technical
