Fire dampers play a crucial role within HVAC system ductwork by preventing the spread of fire and smoke, ensuring the safety of a building’s occupants. Regular inspections, testing, and preventive maintenance of these fire systems and equipment are essential to meet Australian safety standards. AirXpress Testing specializes in comprehensive fire damper inspections to help maintain the highest safety levels in your building.
Why is this necessary?
Regular fire damper inspections are vital to ensure that fire systems and equipment function properly, regardless of the building’s age. Compliance with Australian standards requires these systems to perform at a minimum level, ensuring safety and effectiveness. Routine inspections not only confirm the operational status of the dampers but also help in identifying any specific service requirements tailored to alternative solutions designed to meet regulatory performance needs. Inspections every five years are mandated to prevent failures due to environmental factors, material wear, or usage. AirXpress Testing provides detailed reports with visual evidence of inspections and rectifications, ensuring that building owners can maintain a 20% annual inspection routine, covering all dampers by the end of the fifth year, as per Australian standards.
