CPCSFS5006 — Create detailed designs for fire sprinkler systems

1 Set up fire systems design drawings.

• 1.1Request, receive, name and file relevant project drawings and documentation according to workplace procedures.
• 1.2Clean drawings to leave minimal essential information.
• 1.3Import layers showing designs of other services into clean architectural or structural drawings.
• 1.4Add details from drawings of the floor of the level above, if these affect the design.
• 1.5Name, file and back up the detailed design drawings according to workplace procedures.

2 Calculate preliminary data.

• 2.1Develop floor area calculations to determine the number of sprinkler zones.
• 2.2Determine the sprinkler occupancy classifications, minimum sprinkler flow and initial fire flow demands based on classifications for the site.
• 2.3Determine and analyse the town main water capabilities for the fire services serving the site to identify if fire pumps and fire tanks are required.
• 2.4Calculate the proposed fire pump flow and pressure and fire tank sizes.
• 2.5Prepare a comparison list of equipment which can be used across the site.

3 Lay out the fire sprinkler system design.

• 3.1Determine and notate the exact location of sprinklers on the drawing according to relevant codes and standards.
• 3.2Determine and notate the most efficient and workable layout and location of sprinkler system components on the drawing according to regulatory requirements, standards and regulations.
• 3.3Design pipework layout and coordinate with building elements and services and identify pipework sizes and elevations across the systems.
• 3.4Calculate, check and notate dimensions on the drawing according to regulatory requirements, standards and regulations.
• 3.5Undertake hydraulic analysis of the fire systems using both hand calculation procedures and computer modelling programs.
• 3.6Validate fire pump and tank sizes with initial estimates.
• 3.7Develop detailed designs of pipework for complicated interaction of pipework and building elements and services.
• 3.8Develop detailed designs of pipework configurations for fire tanks, fire pumps, brigade booster and suction points and alarm valves, including manifold systems and flow switch arrangements.

4 Submit drawings for approval and finalise design process.

• 4.1Submit fire sprinkler system design drawings to relevant personnel within the scheduled timeframe.
• 4.2Make or negotiate required amendments to design drawings as required.
• 4.3Process and distribute final approved design drawings according to project and regulatory requirements, standards and regulations.
• 4.4Select fittings and components according to project and regulatory requirements, standards and regulations.

What does an assessment tool for CPCSFS5006 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for CPCSFS5006 needs to address all 38 unit components: 4 elements with 22 performance criteria, 1 performance evidence requirements, 15 knowledge evidence requirements, and the foundation skills. A coverage matrix mapping each question and task to these components is what an auditor looks for.

How does Auditori generate an assessment tool for CPCSFS5006?

Auditori pulls the current release of CPCSFS5006 from training.gov.au and generates a complete package: candidate assessment, assessor guide with model answers and observation criteria, and a coverage matrix mapping every component. A suitably qualified person then reviews and approves the draft in a built-in workflow — consistent with ASQA's guidance on AI use in VET — before export as branded PDF and editable Word.

Is the first assessment tool really free?

Yes. Every new account includes one free credit — enough to generate the complete assessment tool for CPCSFS5006 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing CPCSFS5006 assessment instead of generating a new one?

Yes — upload your existing assessment or learner guide and Auditori maps it against every element, performance criterion, PE and KE of CPCSFS5006, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
