New South Wales Consolidated Regulations

ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING AND ASSESSMENT REGULATION 2000 - REG 168A

168A Conversion of fire alarm communication links

(1) This clause applies to a complying development certificate or a construction certificate that relates only to fire link conversion.

(2) A person issuing such a certificate must also issue:

(a) if there is a current fire safety schedule for the building concerned, a schedule (a "fire link conversion schedule") for the new fire alarm communication link, or

(b) in any other case, a fire safety schedule dealing only with the new fire alarm communication link.

(3) A fire link conversion schedule or fire safety schedule issued under this clause:

(a) must specify the minimum standard of performance for the new fire alarm communication link, and

(b) if the new fire alarm communication link is a critical fire safety measure, must identify the link as such and specify the intervals (being intervals of less than 12 months) at which supplementary fire safety statements must be given to the council.

(4) If a fire link conversion schedule is issued, a copy of the schedule must be attached to the current fire safety schedule for the building concerned and the copy is taken, for the purposes of this Regulation, to form part of the fire safety schedule.

Note: This means that when the current fire safety schedule is updated, the updated fire safety schedule must incorporate not only the current fire safety schedule but also the fire link conversion schedule.

(5) Clause 168 (4) applies to a fire link conversion schedule and a fire safety schedule issued under this clause.
