As1670 (Melbourne)
CED Fire Protection: Your Premier AS1670 Fire Protection Partner in Melbourne
The Australian Standard 1670 (AS1670) outlines the basic requirements when it comes to the design and installation of automatic fire detection as well as alarm systems.
According to the Building Code of Australia (BCA), emergency warning systems fall under three main categories, including:
- Building occupant warning system
- Emergency warning and intercommunication system
- Emergency sound and intercom systems
AS 1670 has numerous sections, which cover different aspects of the mandatory standards. It requires that all components used in the system should be capable of providing stable and reliable performance. Component certification by a registered testing body is also mandatory.

The standard also deals with the separation of systems to ensure controls and detection fixtures operate independently. This applies even if the fire suppression, air handling, and warning systems share housing (CIE enclosure). On the other hand, addressable faults must have the capacity to handle the following: circuit faults should not result in the disconnection of over 40 devices and the faults should be reported.
If the addressable circuit is handling a floor area measuring more than 20,000 square metres or a 10-story building, it must be fitted with two separate cable paths. The two paths require protection with a rating of WSX2. The circuit cannot be used to handle over 1,000 devices regardless of type. When it comes to alarm zones, they should be limited to a floor area of 2,000 square metres with no entrances.
