Fire Protection Accreditation Scheme (FPAS)
The FPAS was developed by the Fire Protection Association Australia (FPAA) and was approved on 1 July 2020.
Additional amendments to the existing scheme were approved on 9 November 2023.
The scheme covers:
- endorsing the design of relevant fire safety systems: sprinklers, hydrants and hose reels, fire detection and alarm systems, but not mechanical smoke control systems
- assessing the performance of essential fire safety measures for annual/supplementary fire safety statements
- endorsing the following non-statutory measures for annual/supplementary fire
safety statements: emergency planning and alarm monitoring.
Visit the FPAA’s website to view the scheme documents or to search the register of accredited practitioners.
The FPAS scheme includes a transitional period for those who have not yet obtained a recognised qualification.
