The Technical Distinction
AS 1851-2012: The Mandate
AS 1851 is the Service Standard. It works as the legislative trigger that mandates the frequency of your routine servicing (e.g. 6-monthly reviews). It ensures your Emergency Plan measure is active and compliant for your Annual Fire Safety Statement.
AS 3745 / AS 4083: The Design
These are the Technical Specifications. They tell the technician or consultant exactly how to build the plan, how to orient the evacuation diagrams, and what specific competencies your wardens must be trained in.
