| FIRE ALARM TESTING
Over time, smoke detectors become less sensitive. Standby batteries in control panels become weak and general faults can develop. Fire alarm testing needs to be carried out regularly and is an essential part of fire alarm system maintenance. Periodic fire alarm testing (PIR) is a requirement for a local authority fire certificate. The sensitivity of detectors on a poorly maintained or neglected fire alarm system may result in the system not going into alarm condition should a fire develop, which could be deadly. Fire Alarm Tests Carried Out All smoke and heat detectors will be tested for functionality. Bells and sounders will be operated and assessed to ensure that they provide sufficient sound levels in all areas. Fire panels, their batteries and all cable joints where accessible will be checked for integrity and functionality. |
