Overview and section help for Queensland Form 72 periodic testing and maintenance
QLD Fire safety
Queensland Government
Record periodic fire hydrant and sprinkler system testing and maintenance under Queensland Development Code MP 6.1 and download the official Form 72 PDF.
Open this form QLD Form 72 records periodic testing and maintenance for fire hydrant and sprinkler systems under Queensland Development Code MP 6.1.
Open Form 72 when the maintenance readings and test-equipment records are ready.
Choose Annual or 5 year to match the maintenance test carried out. Complete
only the hydrant, sprinkler, or combined sections that were actually tested.
Have these ready:
Site name and address
Contractor name
Maintenance test type (annual or 5 year) and test date
Which systems were tested (hydrant, sprinkler, or combined)
Hydrostatic, flow, booster, and sprinkler test readings
Equipment and gauge calibration details
Compliance outcomes and licensee signature
Check the current requirements for handing the completed form to the building owner or occupier.
Record the job context before you enter test results.
Site name and street address
Contractor name
Maintenance test type (annual or 5 year)
Test date and time
Whether fire hydrant, sprinkler, or combined testing applies
Use saved contractor details if you maintain the same sites regularly. Tick sprinkler or combined only when those systems were part of this maintenance visit.
Record the hydrant hydrostatic test against AS2419.1 or AS1851 pressure specifications.
Pass or fail outcome
Boost pressure, test pressure, duration, end pressure, and any loss
Comments explaining defects, limitations, or follow-up work
Match the units shown on the form (kPa and L/min). Add comments if the test could not be completed to specification.
Document the test equipment used for hydrant flow and pressure readings.
Flow measuring device type (orifice, mechanical, or electro magnetic)
Calibration date under the mechanical column when a mechanical device is used
Calibration date under the electro magnetic column when an electro magnetic device is used
Serial numbers, calibration dates, correction certificates, face size, digital reader, and increments for up to four device/gauges in the table
Part C is not required for orifice testing. If you use more than four devices, note extras in comments or complete another Form 72.
Record hydrant system flow test results under AS1851 Section 4.
Pass or fail outcome
Hydrant locations and system requirement readings
Whether an on-site pump set is installed
Pressure readings for each nozzle size and flow rate row
System achieved flow rate and pressure
Contact the water service provider if readings do not meet design criteria and there are no on-site faults to explain the result.
Record pump appliance booster test results under AS2419.1 and AS1851.
Pass or fail outcome
Hydrant locations and height of the highest hydrant above the booster
System requirements, pump inlet and discharge pressures, boost pressure, and frictional loss
Comments
Use the same hydrant location descriptions you would expect the building owner to recognise during a future inspection.
Record the sprinkler hydrostatic test against AS2118.1, AS2118.4, and AS2118.6.
Pass or fail outcome
Test pressure (kPa) and time held (mins)
Comments
Note any pressure drop or follow-up repairs in the comments so the owner has a clear maintenance record.
Record sprinkler system flow test results for the relevant AS2118 and AS1851 sections.
System specifications and overall test results summary
Two test points with required and actual flow and pressure, each with pass or fail
Running test installation gauge pressure
Comments
Multiple test points may be required on larger systems. Use comments to list additional points tested if they do not fit the two rows on the form.
Declare compliance outcomes after completing the maintenance tests.
Whether critical defects were identified
Whether repairs or corrective actions were taken
Overall system pass or fail
If critical defects were found, check the current notice and reporting requirements for the owner or occupier. Attach repair details to your licensee report when corrective work was done.
Sign off the Form 72 as the appropriately qualified licensee.
Licensee name
Signature
Licence number (QBCC or PIC)
Licensee report number
Use saved licensee details to prefill repeat fields on your next Form 72. Confirm the declaration text matches your understanding of the test results before download.
The site, contractor, maintenance type, date, time, and systems tested are correct.
Every section used has a clear pass or fail and the required readings.
Units, hydrant locations, nozzle sizes, and test points match the maintenance record.
Every device or gauge used has the available serial and calibration details.
Comments explain incomplete tests, losses, defects, repairs, or limitations.
The compliance outcome agrees with the section results.
The licensee name, signature, licence number, and report number are complete.
Give the completed PDF to the building owner or occupier and keep a copy with the maintenance readings, equipment records, and licensee report. Follow any separate critical-defect or corrective-action process that applies.
