Fire Alarm Testing

Every week your fire alarm system should be tested . We know how important it is to regularly test your fire alarm to ensure that it's working properly and correctly. We offer planned weekly testing where we conduct the following checks.

A manual call point or smoke detector should be operated during normal working hours. It should be confirmed that the control equipment is capable of processing a fire alarm signal and providing an output to fire alarm sounders, and to ensure that the fire alarm signal is correctly received at any alarm receiving centre to which fire alarm signals are transmitted.

The weekly test should be carried out at approximately the same time each week; instructions to occupant’s should then be that they should report any instance of poor audibility of the fire alarm signal. In systems with staged alarms incorporating an “Alert” and an “Evacuate” signal, the two signals should be operated, where practicable, sequentially in the order they would occur at the time of a fire (i.e. “Alert” then “Evacuate”).

All tests will be noted in the onsite logbook. We can provide these along with an annual contract.
Towards the end of an annual contract we will conduct a full system check and issue a servicing certificate, prior to the contract renewal.
