Fire hydrant and sprinkler system commissioning

and periodic test—form 70

The form is to be used for the purposes of commissioning fire systems that are required by the Building Act 1975 and for
the maintenance testing requirements in the Queensland Development Code Mandatory Part 6.1.
This form is also to be used in accordance with the ‘Fire hydrant and sprinkler system commissioning and periodic
maintenance procedure’. Please note that this form is only for collecting results of testing against the sections of relevant
Australian Standards listed below, and further testing and maintenance is required.

6. Notes

NOTE: Building owners/occupiers are responsible for ensuring their buildings continuously meet fire safety standards.
Where a building owner/occupier becomes aware their building does not meet the minimum requirements for water
pressure as required by any standard called up as being applicable by the Queensland Development Code Mandatory
Part 6.1 (Maintenance of fire safety installations) the building owner/occupier should contact the Queensland Fire and
Rescue Service to notify them of the defect.
