On 6 April, fire-safety assessment changed. From that date, any practitioner who assesses and endorses measures on an annual fire-safety statement in New South Wales must hold accreditation as a Fire Protection Accreditation Scheme (FPAS) Fire Safety Assessor (FSA). Likewise, those who endorse plans and specifications for sprinklers, hydrants and hose reels, and fire detection and alarm systems must be FPAS Fire Systems Design (FSD) accredited, unless they hold other accreditation recognized by the Building Professionals Board.
