AS 1670.1-1995 Fire detection, warning, control and intercom systems - System design, installation and commissioning, Part 1: Fire
Standards Australia
Supersedes: AS 1670-1986 Fire detection, warning, control and intercom systems - System design, installation and commissioning, Part 1: Fire
This Standard incorporates Amendment No. 1 (June 1997), Amendment No. 2 (June 1998), Amendment No. 3 (May 2001) and Amendment No. 4 (November 2001). The changes required by the Amendments are indicated in the text by a marginal bar and amendment number against the clause, note, table, figure or part thereof affected.
This Standard is the result of a consensus among the members of the Joint Committee to produce it as an Australian Standard.
Maintenance requirements for fire detection and alarm equipment are included in AS 1851.8, Maintenance of fire protection equipment, Part 8: Fire detection and alarm
systems.
In this edition, sections have been arranged to provide users of the Standard with a logical sequence as they work through the design, installation and commissioning of a fire alarm system.
This Standard has been considerably expanded to include many practices that are in current use and embrace additional scenarios where the previous edition was silent.
Appendix B ‘Guidance for the selection of detectors’ assists personnel engaged in the design, installation and commissioning of fire protection and suppression systems.
The commissioning section encompasses Appendices F and G which are report forms to indicate the installation content and its compliance with this Standard.
The terms ‘normative’ and ‘informative’ have been used in this Standard to define the application of the appendix to which they apply. A ‘normative’ appendix is an integral part of a Standard, whereas an ‘informative’ appendix is only for information and guidance.
