Why Fire Equipment Maintenance Matters

Regular testing and maintenance of portable fire equipment isn't just good practice—it's a legal requirement under AS 1851 and critical to workplace safety.

AS 1851 (Routine service of fire protection systems and equipment) sets out mandatory maintenance requirements for portable fire equipment in Australian workplaces.

Fire extinguishers, fire blankets, fire hose reels, and other portable fire equipment must be regularly inspected, tested, and tagged to ensure they function correctly in an emergency.

Workplace Safety

Protect your employees and visitors by ensuring fire equipment is ready to use when needed most

Insurance Validity

Most commercial insurance policies require documented proof of fire equipment maintenance

WHS Compliance

Demonstrates due diligence and meets your legal obligations under workplace health and safety laws

Don't Wait for an Emergency

Faulty or expired fire equipment can fail when you need it most. Regular maintenance and testing ensures your fire protection systems are ready to protect lives and property in a real emergency. Non-compliance also exposes your business to legal liability and insurance rejection.

OUR PROCESS

How Fire Equipment Testing Works

Our systematic approach ensures every piece of fire equipment is thoroughly inspected, tested, and documented to AS 1851 standards.

1

Visual Inspection

Our technician conducts a comprehensive visual examination of each piece of fire equipment, checking for:

  • • physical damage, corrosion, and missing parts
  • • correct mounting and accessibility
  • • label integrity and signage compliance
Physical condition Location accessibility Label integrity
2

Pressure & Function Testing

Fire extinguishers are checked for correct pressure or charge (gauge or weight, as applicable) and overall condition of hose, nozzle, and safety features. No discharge testing is carried out unless required by the manufacturer or following use. Fire hose reels undergo a flow and pressure test to verify water delivery and nozzle performance.

Compliance Tagging

Each extinguisher is fitted with a durable punched service tag showing whether a Level 1 or Level 2 service has been carried out, along with the month and year of testing — both punched on the same line for accuracy and compliance with AS 1851.

After every service, Liberty Test & Tag provides digital test results and an asset list detailing each extinguisher's condition — including pass or fail status, weight and size, and its fire rating (for example, 2A:10B:E). We also include the extinguisher's service life period (e.g. "03/2023 – 03/2028") so you'll always know when replacement is due.

This process ensures all extinguishers tested in Sydney, Canberra, and Lithgow are properly tagged, documented, and traceable — giving you complete transparency for AS 1851 compliance, insurance records, and WHS documentation.
