Sets out management procedures for controlling the inspection, testing and subsequent corrective action applicable to fire-precaution features associated with air-handling systems in buildings, to ensure these features are effectively available in case of fire. Provides for four levels of routine maintenance, and includes appendices detailing typical routines for various components at the different levels. A table shows a typical maintenance schedule for monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, two-yearly and five-yearly intervals (this table is also available in wallchart size as AS 1851.6C).

This standard sets out management procedures for controlling the inspection and testing of required fire-precaution features associated with air-handling systems in buildings, to ensure their effective availability.NOTES:1. The procedures set out in this standard and all consequential corrective actions preferably should be carried out, but at least be supervised, by personnel recognized as being qualified in this class of work.2. In the assessing of the need for corrective action, regard should be given to the various factors which may affect the precise performance from day to day. For this reason, critical limits of performance are quoted where appropriate. In this context a critical limit sets the level of a performance characteristic beyond which its effect could become detrimental to life safety.
