RESOURCES Changes to the NZ standard for fire detection and alarm systems in buildings
Argus Fire's Regulatory Alert Regulation NZS4512
May 13, 2021
Released in 2021, the revisions to NZS4512 herald a number of changes. Most will be implemented or allowed for as a matter of course by your fire systems service provider as part of maintenance, remedial or installation work. Speak to them if you need more detail. A few key changes to note as follows:

– All wireless manual call points are tested monthly
– Annual Heat detector testing has increased from 2% to 5%
– More record-keeping is required under section B Systems Documentation and Records
– Any isolation must turn the Normal LED off (this is found on the Index).
