IQP testing is a formal inspection process carried out by an independent qualified person to confirm that critical building systems are operating as required. An Independent Qualified Person (IQP) is authorised to deliver an IQP testing service for every independent building under the NZ building regulations.
This work focuses on emergency lighting, fire system operation, effective smoke control, and the performance of safe escape routes. A structured IQP testing service also supports scheduled ongoing inspection, accurate maintenance reporting, and verified building compliance.
Many sites include checks for conditioning systems, compliant backflow testing, controlled continuous gas flow, and installed prevention devices. Certified inspectors and testers complete documented IQP checks, so all IQP inspections are required, and full IQP compliance supports your annual BWOF ongoing inspection through reliable IQP services.
We manage scheduled IQP testing programmes covering emergency lighting, fire system performance, compliant escape route layouts, and functional smoke control systems.
Each programme includes clear maintenance reporting, routine ongoing inspection, and accurate IQP checks to support the building’s long-term compliance.
Our technicians coordinate backflow testing, verify conditioning systems, confirm safe continuous gas flow, and assess installed prevention devices.
We also guide owners on required IQP inspections and maintain clear IQP compliance records to support BWOF’s ongoing inspection obligations under current NZ building rules through trusted IQP services.
