Installer Listing Procedure
ASIB Installer Listing Procedure
Sprinkler systems are classed as life safety and property protection installations and this particular field of fixed fire protection must not be viewed as anything other than a full commitment to the protection of a potential client's asset base using internationally accepted known and proven standards.
ASIB will list any company that is capable of correctly advising on and installing sprinkler installations and special risk protection.
The listing indicates to our clientele and those that use the listing for procurement purposes that the listed company is capable in that field, and that all work shall be inspected by ASIB on completion in order to assure the quality of the installation and protect the clients' interests.
Two Major Attributes Assessed
- Does the company have staff that has on site sprinkler experience
- Does the company have staff that are capable of advising on the risk and requirements of the sprinkler system in accordance with internationally acceptable and proven standards
The Listing Process
If you feel that your company has the necessary expertise to list with ASIB, please:
- Read the requirements for listing
- Contact ASIB administration to begin the registration process
Once we receive your application, an email will be sent to you requesting a company CV based on the sprinkler experience of the staff. The CV should not contain any reference to any other field of expertise other than sprinkler installations.

Obligations of Listed Companies
A listed company is obliged to submit all work to ASIB for inspection. This is not optional, and is a condition of listing. ASIB becomes the listed installer's quality control for all sprinkler work.
There is an obligation to inform the client whether there is a deviation from the standard that may affect the function of the sprinkler system. This must be done in writing.
