Ensuring Building Compliance

At Pasiv Fire, we take building compliance and accountability seriously. When it comes to inspecting, testing and maintaining passive fire systems, we adhere strictly to industry standards and regulations.


Fire Protection Systems & Equipment
Our cornerstone for ensuring building compliance is the Australian Standard AS1851 2012. This standard provides comprehensive guidelines for the routine service of fire protection systems and equipment. By following AS1851 2012, we ensure that your passive fire systems are inspected, tested, and maintained with precision.


Fire Seals Protecting Openings
Our inspections and testing of fire seals protecting openings are in strict accordance with AS1530.4 and AS4072.1 standards. These standards define the fire resistance requirements for various building elements, ensuring that the passive fire systems in place are capable of containing fire and smoke, thereby safeguarding occupants and property.

Fire Resistance & Lightweight Construction
Pasiv Fire is committed to compliance with the Building Code of Australia (BCA) Clause C, which deals with fire resistance. We make sure that buildings meet the required standards, including BCA C1.8 and AS1530.3-1999, which govern lightweight construction materials and methods. This ensures that even in lightweight structures, passive fire systems are up to the task of providing fire protection.


Access, Egress & Paths of Travel
BCA Clause D focuses on access and egress requirements, including paths of travel during emergencies. Our compliance with this clause ensures that occupants can safely exit the building in the event of a fire.


Fire Damper Specification & Installations
Fire dampers play a critical role in passive fire systems, and we adhere to the stringent AS1682.1 and AS1682.2-1990 standards for their specification and installation. Properly installed and maintained fire dampers are essential for preventing the spread of fire and smoke through ductwork in a building.


Components Protecting Openings in Fire-Resistant Walls & Fire Doors
To safeguard openings in fire-resistant walls and fire doors, we strictly comply with AS1905.1-2005 standards. These standards govern the installation and maintenance of components such as fire-rated access panels and fire doors, ensuring their effectiveness in containing fires.
