should be completed by the system designer, the installation engineer and the commissioning engineer. The System Description
sheet should also be completed on Pages 12-20 as should the relevant parts of the Log Book section starting on Page 21.
The user or responsible person should then complete the acceptance certificate to acknowledge that they have been instructed in
the use of the fire alarm, have witnessed that it is operational, and have been given all the relevant paperwork (drawings, log book,
user manual, etc.).
