This form is only to be used by a certifying authority following an application for an initial fire safety report (IFSR) where the corresponding construction certificate (CC) was issued.

This form is to only be used when the alternative solution report (ASR) has been updated to incorporate changes from IFSR conditions being adopted for the respective CC, or to include minor editorial changes that have no impact on the building design or alternative solution.

Note: Clause 148 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulation 2000 (EP&A Reg.) requires any design change that warrants modification of the CC to undergo a new CC application. As clause 144 of the EP&A Reg. must be re-applied, a new IFSR application must be made to Fire & Rescue NSW (FRNSW).

Any updated ASR prepared by the competent fire safety practitioner is to be forwarded to the certifying authority. Any design change should be addressed through a modification of CC or new CC, and the corresponding application for CC referred to FRNSW as a new IFSR application.

Note: The ASR attached to the fire safety schedule must be the version that was subject to the relevant CC for the building works, and as was submitted to the consent authority when that CC was issued.

Provide details on updates to this ASR

Note: The updates to the ASR should not present a different alternative solution to the one assessed during the relevant CC application, and its corresponding IFSR application. If the fire safety strategy/approach, number of issues, performance requirements, assessment methods, acceptance criteria, fire scenarios, design fires or modelling inputs are different then the alternative solution may present a change in design.
