Fire Protection Maintenance Melbourne — AS 1851 Routine Servicing

Melfire maintains the essential safety measures of over 500 properties across Melbourne. We’re a generalist fire maintenance contractor with a specialist’s depth — the same company that manufactures fire pump controllers and rebuilds pump rooms also runs the monthly and six-monthly checks that keep your building compliant, with licensed sprinkler fitters and ESV-registered electricians doing the work.

AS 1851 Routine Servicing — All Frequencies

AS 1851 sets the inspection, testing and maintenance schedule for every fire protection system in your building. Melfire delivers the full program:

  • Six-monthly — extended system testing, valve and booster inspections, alarm signalling checks
  • Annual — full function testing, flow tests, battery and charger checks, condition reporting for your Annual Essential Safety Measures Report (AESMR)
  • Five-yearly — hydrant flow testing, fire pump duty testing, sprinkler system overhauls and pressure testing
