If you got something that doesn’t confirm with the building code 100% but you still feel that it’s compliant, Fire Check Consultants are able to produce an ‘Evidence of Suitability’ report. We use engineering judgement to show equivalence with the proposed configuration against that of the required performance requirements of the building code. Some previous examples of ‘Evidence of Suitability’ are the use of two different passive fire rating systems to achieve require fire resistance level (FRL), use of interconnected local smoke alarms (AS 3786) instead of a required smoke detection and warning system (AS 1670), and removal of required fire extinguishers from unmanned, remote water treatment plans. If you have or are proposing to use a material or product in a way that may not comply completely with the tested system, please contact Fire Check to see if we can help out with an ‘Evidence of Suitability’ report.
