As of May 2017, changes have been introduced in AS1670.1.2015, the Australian Fire Alarm Installation Standards. The new changes have stipulated that all Fire Alarm cable must meet the minimum mechanical rating of WSX1 for transmission paths under Clause 3.26.
Not only do all FireSense cables have ActivFire certification, but we are fully compliant and certified in accordance with AS/NZS 3013 to a minimum of WSX1 across our range - from our TPS Fire Alarm cable, right up to our 2HR Fire Rated Power and Single Core cable.
FireSense are the market leaders when it comes to changes in the Australian Standards, and meeting all markings and requirements that are relevant.
This new change applies to all buildings that have a construction certificate issued after May 2017, which means all new builds after this date need to meet this requirement. We encourage all our customers to contact us if you need further information, or a better understanding of these changes.
