Annual Fire Safety Statement (AFSS)

Annual Fire Safety Statements (AFSS) must be evaluated by an accredited fire safety practitioner (AFSP) and comply with the relevant standards of performance as stated in the Australian Standards and Building Codes of Australia (BCA).

The owner of a building or premises that has fire systems installed must provide the local council and Fire and Rescue NSW (the NSW Fire Brigade Head Office) with a fire safety statement certifying that all essential fire-safety measures work properly to the minimum standard of performance.

Supplementary Fire Safety Statement 

A supplementary fire safety statement is issued at more regular intervals (as specified in the fire safety schedule) for any critical fire safety measures that apply to a building.

Fire Safety Certificate Sydney

A Final Fire Safety Certificate is a document issued by our company upon the completion of new building work.

The certificate proves that each of the fire safety measures that apply to a building (as listed in the fire safety schedule) have been installed and inspected by a properly qualified person. This helps verify that the required fire safety measures can perform to the minimum standard.

Fire safety schedules

Fire safety schedules list the measures required to be installed and the standard they need to achieve. A fire safety schedule can be issued:

  • by Council or an accredited certifier
  • by Council with a fire safety order
  • by Council in some cases with a development consent, such as for a change of use in an existing building

A fire safety schedule is only applicable if any of the above occurred after 1988. You can obtain a copy of the latest fire safety schedule from Council.

When submitting an annual fire safety statement, it’s crucial to include a copy of the fire safety schedule along with the submission.
