Passive fire scope
Fire door and passive measure inspections
Passive fire protection (fire doors, wall and floor penetrations, dampers where the schedule lists them) works by containing fire and smoke rather than fighting it. Doors get wedged, dropped and painted over; penetration seals get drilled out by every trade that visits. Inspection cycles catch the drift before it becomes a breach.
Scope
What this covers
Fire door inspections covering leaves, frames, hardware, gaps and signage
Penetration surveys in risers, service cupboards and plant areas
Defect schedules with photographic evidence and locations
Rectification arranged through appropriately qualified trades
Timing
When it's needed
After any fit-out, cabling or plumbing project is the danger window, new penetrations through fire-rated construction routinely go unsealed. Buildings with wedged or non-latching fire doors are carrying a live defect against their schedule right now.
Never wedge open a fire door, block an exit path or leave a fire system isolated after works without a plan to restore it. If a measure is found inoperative in an occupied building, treat it as urgent and escalate the defect the day it is found.
Quote variables
What shapes the scope
Door and penetration counts, which climb fast in older buildings
Fit-out churn history and the survey depth it justifies
Access to tenanted areas and locked risers
Rectification trades needed: carpentry, fire-stopping, hardware
In NSW, the assessments behind an annual fire safety statement must be carried out by an accredited practitioner (fire safety), accreditation currently operates under the Fire Protection Association Australia scheme, while rectification work must be done by appropriately licensed or qualified trades for each measure. Ask who is accrediting the assessment and who is doing the physical work, and verify both.
