FIRE ALARM MAINTENANCE All fire systems must be regularly tested and maintenance is essential as it will prolong the life of a system and discover any faults that may occur. A system that is not maintained cannot be guaranteed to protect life and property. The only reliable and measurable means of ensuring that your existing fire detection and warning system remains compliant and fully functional is to instigate a plan of regular routine maintenance and testing carried out by a ‘competent’ person supplemented by weekly user tests. BS5839-1:2002, as amended 2008, recommends weekly user tests consisting of the operation of one manual call point ensuring that the alarm panel processes the fire signal and operates the alarm sounders, with a record of each test in the company’s log book. This should be combined, for Grade A systems, with periodic inspection and testing of the system by a ‘competent’ person based on a risk assessment.
