CPCPFS3030 — Design fire sprinkler systems using pre-calculated charts and tables

1 Prepare for work.

• 1.1Obtain scope of work requirements from information and quality requirements, including relevant job plans and specifications, codes, Australian Standards, manufacturer’s specifications and jurisdictional requirements.
• 1.2Identify and apply workplace policies and procedures, work health and safety (WHS) and environmental requirements.
• 1.3Set up work area to enable sprinkler system to be designed efficiently.

2 Identify design requirements.

• 2.1Obtain data from relevant job specifications required to prepare design.
• 2.2Identify building classification and hazard ratings that apply to the fire sprinkler system being designed.
• 2.3Identify ceiling type and constructions material.
• 2.4Identify all features of that building that might obstruct the spray pattern of the sprinkler, i.e. bulkheads, beams, columns, etc.
• 2.5Identify sprinkler head type from relevant job plans and specifications, codes, Australian Standards, manufacturer’s specifications and jurisdictional requirements.
• 2.6Identify the requirement for concealed space sprinklers.
• 2.7Water supply needs are established and graphs are drawn for the automatic fire sprinkler system.

3 Design sprinkler system.

• 3.1Identify and locate the control valves.
• 3.2Lay out sprinkler locations according to AS 2118.1 Automatic fire sprinkler systems – General systems and manufacturer data sheets.
• 3.3Lay out the range and distribution pipework in an economical manner.
• 3.4Determine the most remote last range type.
• 3.5Locate the design points.
• 3.6Size all range pipes in the installation using the pre-calculated tables.
• 3.7Size the distribution pipework up to the design point using the pre-calculated tables.
• 3.8Size the distribution pipework from the design point to the control valve using hydraulic calculations.
• 3.9Prepare fabrication design sheets and material lists.

4 Finalise work.

• 4.1Clear the work area, and dispose of, reuse or recycle materials in accordance with state and territory legislation and workplace policies and procedures.
• 4.2Apply workplace recording and reporting procedures where required.

What does an assessment tool for CPCPFS3030 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for CPCPFS3030 needs to address all 34 unit components: 4 elements with 21 performance criteria, 5 performance evidence requirements, 8 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 CPCPFS3030?

Auditori pulls the current release of CPCPFS3030 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 CPCPFS3030 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing CPCPFS3030 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 CPCPFS3030, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
