An Annual Fire Safety Statement (AFSS) is a document issued by or on behalf of the owner(s) of an existing building. This is an annual statement that indicates that each fire safety measure that applies to that building has been inspected by a competent fire safety practitioner (CFSP) and that the systems perform as required. Annual Fire Safety Statements must be issued for every building other than class 1 (house), this must be done using a standard template form published by the NSW Government.
