Fire hydrant system in new building or premises
FRNSW endorse AS 2419.1:2021 for the design and installation of fire hydrant systems in new building or premises. If the new building or premises is outside the scope of AS 2419.1:2021, which includes either of the following:
- Class 7b or 8 building having a total volume more than 108,000 m3
- automatic racked storage system (i.e. an Automatic storage and retrieval system)
- a building having an effective height more than 135 m
- a building or associated areas that include any special hazards,
then a performance solution is required to be developed for the fire hydrant system with consultation sought from FRNSW.
FRNSW recommend consideration be given to Appendices C, D and E of AS 2419.1:2021, when developing these performance solutions.
