Our Fire Hose Testing Procedure

In Queensland, Australia, the fire hose testing requirements are specified in the Australian Standard AS1851-2012 for Maintenance of Fire Protection Systems and Equipment. This standard outlines the testing and maintenance requirements for fire hose reels, hydrants, and other fire protection systems. According to the standard, fire hose reels must be inspected and tested every six months to assess for damage and ensure that the device is free of obstructions. 

Additionally, an annual water flow test is required to ensure that the hose reel is capable of providing water flow in an emergency situation. It is important for building owners and facilities managers to comply with these standards in order to maintain the safety and integrity of their fire protection systems.

As per the guidelines set forth in AS1851, certain fire hose reel testing should be conducted at the following intervals:

Every 6 months – 

  • accessibility, 
  • signage, 
  • operating instructions, 
  • potential damage, 
  • nozzle interlock, swing arm, unwind flow, 
  • leakage
  • record label

Every 12 months – 

  • anchor points, 
  • hose guide and fittings, 
  • potential damage in the hose or bearings
  • check for any fire hazards or obstructions

We strive to ensure that all fire hose reel systems are in optimal working condition and meet industry standards to ensure the safety of your facility. At Fyrepower, we have a comprehensive list of tests that we regularly conduct for our clients, but we always encourage you to reach out to us to confirm your specific needs.
