Fire Regulations
All NSW regulated ships and boats over 5m in length must carry firefighting equipment that can extinguish a fire quickly and effectively.
You should purchase all firefighting equipment, like fire blankets and extinguishers, from an authorised dealer who can work out the best type for your needs. Fire extinguishers must be serviced by the manufacturer or an authorised agent before their expiry dates.
If any firefighting equipment is unusable, you must replace it.
A portable fire extinguisher (PFE) which has a manufacture stamp of more than 5 years prior, under Australian Standards must be hydrostatic pressure tested by an approved tester. Due to the cost and time associated with this process most commonly the PFE would be simply replaced.
Depending on the type and class of boat, other firefighting equipment like alarms, communication systems, fire pumps, hydrants and hoses may also be required.
