Sydney Passive Fire Compliance
Passive Fire Inspections
& Compliance Reporting
Understanding how passive fire inspections, compartmentation reviews and compliance reporting support building fire safety across Sydney and NSW.
Why Inspections Matter
Passive Fire Defects Are Often Hidden
Passive fire systems are designed to slow the spread of fire and smoke throughout a building, protecting occupants, escape routes and property.
However, many passive fire defects remain hidden above ceilings, within risers, service shafts and concealed wall penetrations until inspections are carried out.
Damaged fire doors, missing smoke seals, unsealed penetrations and compromised fire-rated barriers can all affect compartmentation performance.
AFSS & Compliance
Supporting NSW Building Compliance
Throughout NSW, passive fire inspections form part of the overall building fire safety strategy and support compliance management processes associated with Annual Fire Safety Statements (AFSS).
Passive fire systems contribute to the performance of Essential Fire Safety Measures (EFSM) by helping maintain fire compartmentation throughout buildings.
During inspections, passive fire defects may be identified and documented to support remediation planning, compliance reporting and ongoing building maintenance workflows.

Unprotected cable penetrations
Inspection Workflow
How Passive Fire Inspections Work
Passive fire inspections generally involve reviewing fire compartmentation systems throughout a building, identifying defects and documenting non-compliant conditions.
This may include inspection of service penetrations, fire-rated walls, ceiling barriers, fire doors, risers, shafts and concealed spaces.
Inspection findings are commonly documented using photographs, defect registers, floor plans and compliance reporting workflows.
BAKKER PFI Australia uses structured inspection workflows and Codexus digital compliance systems to help organise passive fire information and support compliance visibility throughout buildings.
Codexus Compliance Systems
Digital Passive Fire Compliance Workflows
Codexus is a digital passive fire compliance platform designed to support inspections, defect registers, penetration records and compliance reporting workflows.
The platform is powered by real-world passive fire inspection and installation knowledge provided by BAKKER PFI Australia.
