Standards Australia
This Standard will be referenced in the Building Code of Australia 2004.
The objective of this Standard is to achieve the reliable monitoring of fire systems installed in buildings by a remotely located monitoring service and to transfer alarm signals to a fire despatch centre.
Changes to this edition include the following:
(a) Primary and secondary links for monitored sites are no longer required.
(b) Monitoring networks to meet the requirements for individual sites and network reliability of all sites.
(c) Provision for the use of single telecommunications path.
The term ‘normative’ has been used in this Standard to define the application of the appendix to which it applies. A ‘normative’ appendix is an integral part of a Standard.
First published as AS 1670.3-1997. Second edition 2004.
This Standard sets out requirements for the monitoring of fire alarm systems except where existing systems operated by a fire service are permitted by State and Territory regulations.
