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.

Former licence classes that have transitioned:

• Portable fire equipment and hose reels (hose reels down stream of stop cock only) PI*
• Portable fire equipment and hose reels (hose reels down stream of stop cock only) – occupational.
