These are real pages from the book. The table of contents is the full one: 9 parts and 62 topics.
You're at the fire indicator panel with the building manager beside you. He asks what happens between a detector going off and the brigade getting the call.
You've read it. But the manual gives you the detection system in paragraphs: detectors in one clause, the panel in another, the brigade signal, occupant warning and ancillaries somewhere else. Nothing shows you how they connect.
In the book, the same system is one drawing: detectors, then the FIP, then the brigade link, occupant warning and ancillaries, joined by arrows, with the checks marked on each one.
Fire door sets, valve sets, hose reels, extinguisher tags and the six-monthly discharge test get the same treatment: one topic, one page.
You see the chain, you explain it in one go and you test it in order without going back to the manual.
How AS 1851 works, fire and smoke doors, detection and alarm, sprinklers and pumps, hydrants and hose reels, extinguishers, exit lighting, passive fire and the logbook: 66 pages, all illustrated
Think of it this way:
You're on a six-monthly round and the next job is the hose reel flow test. You need the number, and you need it now.
You open the hose reel page and there's the bucket: 0.33 L/s from a 19 mm hose fills 10 litres in about 30 seconds, with the stopwatch drawn right next to it.
Same with the fire door set, the FIP, the pump flow test against the baseline and the emergency light discharge test: each one on its own page.
Fire Protection Testing Illustrated is 9 parts and 62 topics, all drawn, finishing with a yearly visit in order, the intervals cheat sheet and the most frequent mistakes on site.
What you see drawn, you don't have to memorize.
What AS 1851 covers, the full routine ladder from the weekly pump run to five-yearly and beyond, inspect vs test vs survey, baseline data, defect categories and the fire safety schedule.
The fire door set part by part, the tag, the clearances, closer and latch, hold-open devices, smoke vs fire doors and which defect category applies.
The detection system in one drawing, the FIP, isolating before you test, smoke and heat detectors, call points, batteries and EWIS.
From the valve set to the head, the alarm test, head colours and temperatures, clearance, spare heads, and the pump run and flow tests.
Feed, attack and booster, the block plan, landing valves, the hydrant flow test step by step, hose reels and their defects.
Types and colour bands, fire classes, location and signage, the six-monthly check, punching the tag, five-yearly work and fire blankets.
What's required, the six-monthly discharge test, visual checks, central and self-test systems, and how to record faults.
Reading an FRL, rated walls and compartments, collars, sealants and wraps, breached penetrations and evacuation diagrams.
The logbook line by line, writing a clear defect, state rules, the Cert III, FPAS and QBCC pathways, a yearly visit in order, the intervals cheat sheet and frequent mistakes.
At the end of the book: A yearly visit in order, an intervals cheat sheet and the most frequent mistakes on site.
Test yourself on routines, defects and flow tests, and see why each answer is right before your assessment.
See the errors techs make most often on doors, detectors, hydrants and logbooks, each one drawn wrong and then drawn right.

Yes. It's written for techs who already test on site and want AS 1851 in one clear order for Cert III, FPAS or a QBCC licence, and for tradies moving into fire from plumbing or electrical. It skips the obvious and goes to what gets asked: intervals, baseline data, defect categories and flow tests, with the numbers in a box on each page.
It's written for Australia, not adapted from a US book: no NFPA, metric units, Australian Standards and Australian terms (FIP, booster, logbook). The content comes from AS 1851 (current edition) and the related Australian Standards (AS 1905.1, AS 1670.1, AS 2419.1, AS 2441, AS/NZS 2293.2 and others), the National Construction Code and state building regulations. The standards are cited for reference; nothing is copied, every figure is redrawn.
No. It's an independent study book, not published or endorsed by Standards Australia, FPA Australia, the QBCC or any regulator. It doesn't give you a certificate and doesn't count toward Cert III, FPAS or any licence.
No, and it isn't meant to. It sits next to your RTO notes: the same systems, drawn one topic per page, in the order you test them on site, with the intervals and numbers in a box. It doesn't replace your Cert III training, supervised work on site or an accredited assessment.
No. They're written for this book so you can check what you know. They're not official questions from any exam or assessment.
The book and the 2 bonus books arrive as PDFs by email, at the address you enter at checkout.
No. It's a one-off payment.
Yes. The PDF is made to print, at home on A4 or at a print shop, so you can keep it in the van.
You have 30 days. We refund everything if the file won't open, if the book isn't what you see on this page, if you were charged twice or if the email doesn't arrive: just email us.
No more rereading tables that don't stick.
The fire door set, the FIP, the hose reel test: you see them drawn, and that's it.
You walk into the assessment or the building knowing where everything is.
