The latest version
of AS 2419.1, covering the design, installation and
commissioning, and testing of fire hydrant installations, was
published on 3 September, 2021.
The current public comment draft of the NCC now references
AS2419.1-2021.
The new standard introduces a range of changes and
improvements, the most significant of these being limiting the
scope of standard. This change will now require all practitioners
to develop performance solutions for fire hydrant system designs
that are outside of the standard's scope. Many other changes
are also included in this revision.
Station Officer Mark Porter, from Fire and Rescue NSW, was
the drafting leader on this standard, and in this seminar he will
provide an overview of the major changes in AS 2419.1-2021,
explain what has changed, and why.

Are you a BPAD practitioner or interested in bushfire
issues?
On Wednesday, 12 October, we'll be running a seminar at the
Esplanade Hotel in Fremantle where we'll update practitioners about
progress with the Bushfire Planning and Development (BPAD) scheme,
the implications of NCC 2022 changes, and the new fire danger
rating system.
This six-hour event will include briefings from FPA Australia
about BPAD, provide answers to practitioner questions and concerns,
clarify host presentations by some of our government stakeholders,
and a conduct a detailed discussion of current case law.
It will conclude with a small workshop where we will identify
areas for improvement in both the BPAD scheme and the broader
industry.
Attendees can come in person, or participate by Zoom - if you're
in the former group, don't miss out on the chance to network with
your peers after the seminar!
This event gives attendees an ideal opportunity to earn 6 CPD
points and to get greater insights into what is expected of you as
a BPAD practitioner.

The interfacing of systems is a growing feature of fire safety
strategies.
While it increases complexity, it aims to ensure that fire
safety measures work together in the most efficient way to provide
protection and safety to occupants.
However, system interfacing is often set up badly and is poorly
understood by those who are designing, installing, and maintaining
these systems or assessing their performance.
In this webinar, David Isaac will examine the issues that can
arise between systems, how to design an interface to provide
compliance and integrity, and how they might be managed in systems
that are already installed.
