An installed fire suppression system that has never been serviced is not a reliable one. AS 5062:2022 requires ongoing maintenance, inspection and testing at defined intervals. MusterFire's maintenance program keeps every system operational, compliant and ready to activate when it matters.

Book a Service Inspection
Contact your nearest authorised MusterFire distributor to schedule a maintenance visit. Do not wait for an inspection deadline to find a fault.
How often should a fire suppression system be serviced?
Operator-level checks daily or weekly, a periodic inspection every six months, and a full annual service once per year. High-risk environments may require more frequent servicing.
What does a fire suppression system service include?
Cylinder pressure verification, nozzle inspection and cleaning, detection circuit continuity testing, hose and fitting condition assessment, valve and actuator function testing, re-commissioning and updated compliance documentation.
Can I service the fire suppression system myself?
Operator-level visual checks can be performed by the machine operator. Periodic and annual servicing must be performed by a trained MusterFire authorised technician to maintain compliance documentation.
What documentation do I get after a service?
A signed service record, updated compliance certificate and a revised maintenance schedule. These form part of your site safety file and evidence compliance with AS 5062:2022.
Does the machine need to stop operating for maintenance?
Yes. Full service requires the machine to be de-energised and cool. MusterFire distributors work with operators to schedule servicing during planned maintenance shutdowns.
What happens if the system is accidentally discharged?
The system must be re-filled with agent and re-commissioned by an authorised MusterFire technician before returning to service. Documentation of the discharge event and re-commissioning must be recorded.
Will an unmaintained system void my insurance?
Fire insurers assess maintenance records when reviewing claims. An unmaintained or non-compliant system can be used by insurers to reduce or void coverage.
How far in advance should I book a service?
MusterFire recommends scheduling annual services at least four to six weeks in advance to secure availability.
What are the signs that a fire suppression system needs immediate attention?
Contact your authorised distributor immediately if you observe: low pressure on the cylinder gauge, active fault indicator lights on the alarm panel, visible damage to hoses or nozzles, or evidence of agent leakage.
