2)
Head clearance visual checks at a rate, equal to, or greater than, the frequency of any
alarm testing already in place (e.g. at least weekly in residential care). If there is no alarm
testing in place a ‘reasonably practicable’ inspection rate should be chosen (see page 94).
3)
Adding additional heads beyond the minimum requirement (see page 24) to increase the
density, so there is greater overlap between sprayhead coverage.
4)
Installation of two systems in parallel (see page 35).
f)
Maintenance frequency
1)
The routine inspection rate of key components (controller fault signals and sprayhead
clearance) should be equal to, or greater than, the frequency of any alarm testing already
in place (e.g. at least weekly in residential care), and the maintenance programme for the
system should be at least annually. The frequency can be increased depending on the risk.
It is worth considering focusing inspections to individuals identified in a Person-Centred
Fire Risk Assessment (PCFRA) with greater propensity to obstruct the head or tamper with
the system.
