Question: Will the fire collars installed in 2012 be legal when the new legislation begins in February 2025 or will new fire collars need to be installed?
I am an owner and strata committee member. Our strata building was built in 2012. Will the fire collars installed at that time still be legal when AS1851-2012 is legislated in February 2025 or will new fire collars need to be installed to comply with the legislation.
Answer: The collars if genuinely compliant in 2012 will remain compliant.
AS1851-2012 is the code for maintaining fire equipment, it doesn’t change the equipment or require any form of upgrade. The collars if genuinely compliant in 2012 will remain compliant.
