3.4.4 Annual Test
The annual checks should include all the inspections and testing procedures specified
in sections 3.4.1, 3.4.2, 3.4.3. and the following:
a) The maintenance/servicing personnel should arrange to check the operation of at
least 20 percent of the detectors in an installation each year. The selection of
detectors to be tested should be spread over as many zones as possible and should
be made in such a way that all detectors in an installation should have been checked
at least once in 5 years.
The checking of the detectors should take the form of in situ testing to ensure it is
operational.
b) Circuits connecting ancillary equipment which require automatic voltage regulated
supplies should be checked to ensure correct operation and voltage output.
