What is included in a fire hose reel annual compliance test?

The annual compliance test verifies your fire hose reels meet AS 2441 standards. Fire Facilities Plus technicians perform water flow verification (minimum 20L/min), static pressure checks, valve operability tests, and issue compliance tags. The service includes a full system inspection and digital test report.

Why is this testing mandatory in Melbourne?

Annual testing is required under the Building Regulations 2006 to ensure hose reels function during emergencies. Compliance helps satisfy insurance requirements and avoids penalties from the Victorian Building Authority (VBA).

How often should fire hose reels be tested?

AS 2441 requires annual testing for all commercial and industrial properties. High-risk facilities like warehouses may need more frequent checks (every 6 months) depending on their insurance requirements.
