Missing Baseline Data? Don’t Let it Void Your 2026 AFSS
AS1851-2012 is now mandatory law in NSW. If you don’t have your system’s original design specs, you can’t achieve compliance. Complete Fire Group’s “Baseline Recovery Service” recreates your records so you can pass your next audit with confidence.
Why Baseline Data is the #1 Cause of AFSS Rejection in 2026.
Under the mandatory transition to AS1851-2012, “checking the box” is no longer enough. Maintenance technicians are now required to compare current test results against the Baseline Data (the system’s original ‘as-installed’ performance).
No Baseline Data = No Valid Maintenance = No AFSS Certification.
If your building was built before 2012, or if your previous contractor lost the paperwork, your building is currently at high risk of:
- Council Orders & Fines: Daily penalties for non-compliant fire safety statements.
- Insurance Invalidation: Most insurers now require proof of AS1851-2012 compliance to maintain property coverage.
- System Logic Failure: Without baselines, you can’t prove your fire fans, pumps, or panels are performing as designed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: My building is 30 years old and the original plans are long gone. Can you still help? A: Absolutely. This is the primary reason we developed our Recovery Service. Our technicians use high-precision flow and pressure meters to establish a “Technical Baseline” that Council and Fire & Rescue NSW will accept.
Q: Is Baseline Data a one-off requirement? A: Yes. Once we have established and certified your Baseline Data Pack, it remains the permanent technical reference for your building. You only need to update it if you perform major structural or system upgrades.
Q: How long does a Recovery Audit take? A: Most site surveys are completed in 4–6 hours. We then provide your certified Baseline Data Pack within 72 hours of the site visit.
Q: Will this satisfy the new NSW regulations active as of Feb 13, 2026? A: Yes. Our methodology is built strictly around the mandatory AS1851-2012 maintenance standards required by current NSW law.
