Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: June 2024
This unit of competency supports the role of fire systems' designers who need to determine the nature and purpose of the client's or fire engineer's fire systems design concept. The work involves establishing the building classification and hazard level and the legislation, codes and standards that must be applied to the detailed design for fire systems.
Fire systems designs are limited to those within the deemed-to-satisfy provisions of the Building Code of Australia or detailed fire systems designs for alternative solutions designed by fire engineers.
This unit does not apply to fire systems for special hazard locations.
This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to interpret briefs and specifications for fire systems design projects, and define the scope and hazard level of the project with reference to relevant legislation, codes and standards.
Licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements may apply to this unit and so the varying state or territory requirements should be confirmed with the relevant body.
