Description
This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to confirm the post-installation details of fire systems and produce amended drawings and documentation, and to prepare detailed commissioning procedures and specifications. The unit also covers reviewing issues and solutions arising during fire systems design projects and making subsequent improvements to fire systems design project processes.This unit of competency supports the role of fire systems designers with responsibility for producing 'as built' drawings, block plans, tactical fire plans, and operations and maintenance manuals for fire systems. In some jurisdictions, this unit of competency may form part of accreditation, licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements.
