Most strata and body corporate managers know fire compliance is important. Very few can describe what AS1851-2012 actually requires them to verify, document, and retain across a portfolio — and even fewer have a single record that proves it.
When SL 2025-17 takes effect on 13 February 2026, the AFSS sign-off in NSW carries personal exposure. The records sit in inboxes, on technician phones, and inside PDFs nobody opens — until a Land & Environment Court matter forces somebody to find them.
Each obligation below maps to a specific clause. A 'yes' without documentation is still a no.
Under SL 2025-17 (effective 13 February 2026), owners corporations — and their strata managers — must maintain essential fire safety measures in strict accordance with AS1851-2012. Enforced with on-the-spot fines and Land & Environment Court liability.
Under the BFSR 2008 and QDC MP6.1, building owners must maintain prescribed fire safety installations. The QBCC enforces with fines and licence action — and class-action exposure is rising sharply post-Grenfell remediation.
From 01/08/2025, only FPAS-accredited individuals may sign Fire Safety Certificates and AFSS. A company ABN and an invoice are not evidence of individual accreditation.
Records must be retained and immediately accessible on-site for a minimum of 7 years. PDFs buried in an inbox do not satisfy the 'readily accessible' threshold.
Critical defects: verbal before the technician leaves site, written within 24 hours. Non-critical: within one week. A generic service report does not satisfy this.
Monthly services completed outside the ±5 working day window trigger mandatory Non-Conformance logging. These liabilities compound silently across a portfolio.
A structured Yearly Condition Report — separate from invoices — is required per fire protection system, confirming approved design and listing all outstanding defects.
Annual end-to-end interface testing across sprinklers, HVAC, smoke exhaust and door release — one of the most frequently missed requirements.
Inspect / test / maintain work must be carried out by a person holding the correct QBCC fire-protection occupational licence class for that activity — not just a company licence.
The occupier must lodge an annual Occupier's Statement confirming critical installations have been inspected and maintained — supported by evidence the lessor can produce on request.
Critical defects must be notified to the occupier within 24 hours and a written report issued. A verbal handover on-site without follow-up does not discharge the duty.
Maintenance records must be kept at the building for at least 2 years and produced for inspection on request. Cloud archives off-site alone do not satisfy this.
Maintenance must restore each installation to its approved design state. Substituting equivalent products without engineering sign-off creates a non-conformance.
Annual end-to-end interface testing across sprinklers, HVAC, smoke exhaust and door release applies in QLD too — and is the single most frequently missed annual item.
Precura is the compliance verification layer built specifically for managers who carry AS1851 liability across a strata portfolio.
Before a technician attends, Precura verifies their FPAS (NSW) or QBCC licence class (QLD) against the live register — and matches it to the work being performed.
Every service visit generates a structured AS1851-formatted attendance record. By statement time, your Annual Condition Reports per installation class are already compiled.
See which buildings are current, which are overdue, and which carry open defects — across your entire NSW and QLD portfolio in one view. Not 40 contractor conversations.
Critical defects trigger immediate notifications. The AS1851 timeline — verbal same-day, written within 24h — is enforced by the platform, not by memory.
Unaccredited technicians invalidate AFSS sign-off and expose every building they attended.
Missing or lost on-site records spanning 7 years are an unrecoverable, reportable non-conformance.
Services completed outside AS1851's ±5 working day window trigger mandatory NCR logging — multiplying silently across schemes.
Critical defects must be reported verbally before the technician leaves site and confirmed in writing within 24 hours. If the contractor skips this, the liability is yours.
