Sets out a hot smoke test methodology by means of which a specified quantity of smoke may be generated, at a safe temperature, within a building.

Specifies requirements for the performance and construction of air filters for use in general ventilation and airconditioning systems. It classifies air filters on the basis of design, construction performance and application and establishes minimum criteria for acceptance of an air filter into a particular category. It does not apply to HEPA filters.

Specifies the classification of smoke-spill fans, and the laboratory test methods and procedures used to rate their performance (and that of their motors). Fans are rated in terms of their suitability to operate continuously without significant loss of performance, for a specified time at a specified air temperature. This Standard deals only with laboratory type-testing and does not consider the testing of smoke-spill fans after they have been installed in a building.

Specifies requirements for the design, installation and commissioning and testing of fire hydrant installations that are used for the protection of buildings, structures, storage yards, marinas and associated moored vessels, wharves, and plant.

Specifies the criteria for the selection of portable fire extinguishers and the requirements for their application, location and distribution.

Sets out requirements for inspection, testing, preventive maintenance and survey of fire protection systems and equipment.

Provides designers of structures with earthquake actions and general detailing requirements for use in the design of structures subject to earthquakes with a primary focus on life safety.

The 2015 edition of AS/NZS 1668.1 is amended as follows.

Specifies requirements for the design, installation and commissioning of a system of sutomatic smoke/heat release vents in conjunction with associated smoke reservoirs in buildings.

The objective of this Standard is to achieve the reliable monitoring of fire detection and alarm systems (FDAS) installed in buildings by a remotely located monitoring service and to transfer required signals to a fire dispatch centre.
