]]> Shows clearly what is required to enable the Fire Service to have access to sufficient water during emergencies. Provides up-to-date practices for planning and approving a subdivision, sizing a water storage facility, and when replacing or renewing a water main. Guidance has been provided on water storage facilities in rural areas and detail is included about alternative firefighting water sources.

Published By	Publication Date	Number of Pages
SNZ	2006-05-14	91

]]> Identifies how fires could start in places of work and shows simple precautions that will help prevent fires from starting, how to control their effects and how to recover more quickly from any fire. It seeks to promote the use and benefits of good fire risk management practices across a wide range of places of work as a way of preventing injury and loss, ensuring the delivery of organisational objectives, improving strategic and operational management; and improving the insurability of businesses.

SNZ	1993-04-12	13

]]> Describes procedures for preparing and determining flammability index of thin sheet or woven materials of pliable nature which are combustible and do not melt readily or shrink away from an igniting flame. The index is determined according to a speed factor, heat factor and spread factor.

Published By	Publication Date	Number of Pages
SNZ	1994-05-31	26

]]> Sets out a test method for determining the combustibility of building materials and is one of a series of test methods for evaluating the potential fire hazard of building products. This fire test was developed for use by those responsible for selection of construction materials which, although not completely inert, produce only a limited amount of heat and flame when exposed to temperatures of approximately 750oC. This revision aligns the test method more closely with ISO 1182:1990 but specifies combustibility criteria necessary for regulatory purposes.

]]> Contains provisions in the form of a model bylaw for the prevention of fire, the protection of persons and property from fire risks, and the safeguarding of premises by the installation of adequate first-aid fire-fighting equipment. Reprinted to append Amendment 1:1973 and Amendment 2:1979.

Published By	Publication Date	Number of Pages
SNZ	2020-05-06	440

]]> NZS 4541 provides an integrated set of rules for the design, installation, and maintenance of sprinkler systems, so that systems reliably protect against the loss of life and minimise property damage from fire by controlling the fire: within a specified area, and to allow escape before levels of toxic by-products of combustion become life-threatening. This standard is used extensively across the fire protection industry. New Zealand has one of the highest recorded successful operations of fire sprinkler systems, which can be attributed to the rigorous standards and associated legislation to which systems are installed and maintained. The revised standard addresses the following areas: Fire protection of tall (>25 meters) and large (>11,000 square meters) buildings, Seismic restraint of pipework to align with NZS 1170.5 Structural design actions; Part 5 Earthquake actions – New Zealand, Inclusion of new technologies for car stackers and in-rack sprinkler systems for warehouses, editing of the standard and inclusion of the errata collected since the last revision in 2013.
