SESSIONS

Avoiding Rework and Risks: A Service Manager’s Guide to NCC C4D15 Service Penetrations, Evidence of Suitability & Tested Systems

This session is designed for fire protection business owners, service managers, and field technicians responsible for delivering compliant outcomes across installs, retrofits, maintenance, repairs, and routine servicing. It provides a practical compliance roadmap through the NCC 2022, starting with Performance Requirements C1P1–C1P9, then stepping into Part C4 (DTS provisions) and a focused deep dive on C4D15 service penetrations.

Attendees will learn how to interpret and apply the requirements for service penetrations using Evidence of Suitability (A5G3), and how to make defensible decisions on-site—particularly around insulation waivers, understanding when “options” may be acceptable versus when a tested system is required. The session closes with a contractor-focused discussion on accountability and QA: what to check in tested-system components and materials, how to avoid common compliance traps, and how to align field execution with the latest AS1530.4 and AS4072.1 requirements—helping teams deliver consistent, audit-ready work and minimise rework.
