Key changes for transitioning licensees:

  • There are changes for licensees transitioning to the new ‘certify’ classes 
  • ‘Install and maintain’ class automatically transitioned, however the scope of work for licensees who transitioned from the 'fire hydrants and hose reels - inspect and test' licence class also temporarily includes, until 31 October 2021, the former scope of work (inspect and test of fire hydrants and hose reels). From 1 November 2021, licensees will require an additional class for this work.
