This Standard incorporates Amendment No. 1 (May 2009). The changes required by the
Amendment are indicated in the text by a marginal bar and amendment number against the clause, note, table, figure or part thereof affected.

After consultation with stakeholders in both countries, Standards Australia and Standards
New Zealand decided to develop this Standard as an Australian Standard rather than an
Australian/New Zealand Standard.

The objective of this Standard is to provide users of fire hose reels with specific
requirements for their installation. It provides requirements for the protection of fire hose
reels in external situations, mounting requirements and clarifies the commissioning
procedure.

This edition includes the following changes:

(a) Additional terms defined for clarity.
(b) Flow rates clearly mentioned for different sizes.
(c) New requirements to protect the pipes from mechanical damage and low temperature.

This Standard will be referenced in the Building Code of Australia 2006 (BCA 2006)
thereby superseding AS 2441—1988, which will be withdrawn 12 months from the date of
publication of this Standard.

Notes to the text contain information and guidance. They are not an integral part of the Standard.

First published as part of AS CA18-1968. Revised and redesignated as part of AS1851.2-1976. AS 1851.2-1976, revised and redesignated AS 2441-1981. Reissued incorporating Amendment No. 1 (May 2009).
