# QLD Form 72 (/docs/form-guides/fire-safety/qld/qld-fire-form-72-hydrant-testing-maintenance)
**QLD Form 72** records periodic testing and maintenance for fire hydrant and sprinkler systems under Queensland Development Code MP 6.1.
[Open Form 72](/forms/qld-fire-form-72-hydrant-testing-maintenance) 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.
## Before you start [#before-you-start]
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.
## Test Details [#test-details]
Record the job context before you enter test results.
### What to enter [#what-to-enter]
* 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
### Tips [#tips]
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.
## Hydrant Hydrostatic [#hydrant-hydrostatic]
Record the hydrant hydrostatic test against AS2419.1 or AS1851 pressure specifications.
### What to enter [#what-to-enter-1]
* Pass or fail outcome
* Boost pressure, test pressure, duration, end pressure, and any loss
* Comments explaining defects, limitations, or follow-up work
### Tips [#tips-1]
Match the units shown on the form (kPa and L/min). Add comments if the test could not be completed to specification.
## Hydrant Equipment [#hydrant-equipment]
Document the test equipment used for hydrant flow and pressure readings.
### What to enter [#what-to-enter-2]
* 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
### Tips [#tips-2]
Part C is not required for orifice testing. If you use more than four devices, note extras in comments or complete another Form 72.
## Hydrant Flow [#hydrant-flow]
Record hydrant system flow test results under AS1851 Section 4.
### What to enter [#what-to-enter-3]
* 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
### Tips [#tips-3]
Contact the water service provider if readings do not meet design criteria and there are no on-site faults to explain the result.
## Pump Booster [#pump-booster]
Record pump appliance booster test results under AS2419.1 and AS1851.
### What to enter [#what-to-enter-4]
* 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
### Tips [#tips-4]
Use the same hydrant location descriptions you would expect the building owner to recognise during a future inspection.
## Sprinkler Hydrostatic [#sprinkler-hydrostatic]
Record the sprinkler hydrostatic test against AS2118.1, AS2118.4, and AS2118.6.
### What to enter [#what-to-enter-5]
* Pass or fail outcome
* Test pressure (kPa) and time held (mins)
* Comments
### Tips [#tips-5]
Note any pressure drop or follow-up repairs in the comments so the owner has a clear maintenance record.
## Sprinkler Flow [#sprinkler-flow]
Record sprinkler system flow test results for the relevant AS2118 and AS1851 sections.
### What to enter [#what-to-enter-6]
* 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
### Tips [#tips-6]
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.
## Compliance [#compliance]
Declare compliance outcomes after completing the maintenance tests.
### What to enter [#what-to-enter-7]
* Whether critical defects were identified
* Whether repairs or corrective actions were taken
* Overall system pass or fail
### Tips [#tips-7]
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.
## Signature [#signature]
Sign off the Form 72 as the appropriately qualified licensee.
### What to enter [#what-to-enter-8]
* Licensee name
* Signature
* Licence number (QBCC or PIC)
* Licensee report number
### Tips [#tips-8]
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.
## Check before download [#check-before-download]
1. The site, contractor, maintenance type, date, time, and systems tested are correct.
2. Every section used has a clear pass or fail and the required readings.
3. Units, hydrant locations, nozzle sizes, and test points match the maintenance record.
4. Every device or gauge used has the available serial and calibration details.
5. Comments explain incomplete tests, losses, defects, repairs, or limitations.
6. The compliance outcome agrees with the section results.
7. The licensee name, signature, licence number, and report number are complete.
## After download [#after-download]
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.
