The standard specifies a number of maintenance tasks which include a visual inspection of the
installation to ensure that there are no alterations or obstructions which could affect the operation of the
system, and functional checks to confirm the operation of the system.
Any defects should be recorded in the log book and reported to the responsible person. A certificate of
testing should also be completed and given to the responsible person.
Annual
The requirements of the annual test are similar to the quarterly test except that each device on the
system should be tested. Different service organisations may undertake device testing on the same visit,
ie. One major service and three minor service visits per year, or they may test a percentage of the
devices on each visit so that they are all tested within the 12 month period.
Action by the user after a fire
Advise the servicing company and arrange for the system to be tested by them. A certificate of testing
should be issued to confirm the system operation following the inspection and any remedial work that
is necessary.
Action by the user after any false alarm
The user can assist the servicing company in the identification of false alarms by observing the
following:
•
Always make a note of all illuminated indicators and messages displayed at the control panel.
•
Try and identify the activated device, ie. Do not reset the system until the area of the incident
has been inspected.
•
Record any other incidents occurring at the same time which could affect the system, eg.
power supply failure, building works, etc.
The service organisation will be more likely to trace the false alarm if the above information is
available.
Action by the user following a fault
When a fault is reported by the control panel, the user should note all illuminated LEDs, and the
circumstances at the time the fault occurred, and report to the servicing company.
The service company will be able to advise if the system is still able to respond to a fire alarm or
whether extra vigilance should be observed until the fault is rectified. Faults should not be left
unreported.
