Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024
This unit of competency supports the role of fire systems' designers who need to gather and process fire systems design project drawings and documentation and establish the detailed design and compliance requirements for fire systems. The role also involves assessing the impact of building construction and services installation on the detailed fire systems design and negotiating solutions to any conflicts arising.
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 obtain and process design drawings and documentation required for the preparation of detailed fire systems designs and make an initial assessment of the how fire systems are affected by other aspects of the project. The unit also covers researching detailed fire systems' compliance requirements and regulatory processes and negotiating solutions to conflicts arising between the design brief and compliance or installation requirements.
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.
