The Indispensability of Fire Alarm Systems

It’s quite simple. A fire alarm is not just a device; it’s a lifeline. Acting as an early warning system, they offer a crucial advantage during emergencies.

In the unfortunate event of a fire outbreak, every second counts. By sounding off an alarm, these systems ensure timely evacuation and quicker response.

“The value of a fire alarm lies not just in its technology but in its promise of safety and protection.”

Apart from the vital role they play in safety, there’s also a legal obligation. It is mandatory to ensure that fire detection systems are not only installed but also maintained in sync with current regulatory standards. Dive into the importance of these systems further.

Fire Alarm Maintenance FAQs

Do I have to have my fire alarm maintained?

It is a requirement of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 that any “facilities, equipment and devices” provided to safeguard persons under the Order, are subject to a suitable system of maintenance and are maintained in an efficient state, in efficient working order and in good repair.

How often is maintenance required?

The period between successive inspection and servicing visits should not exceed six months.

Do I need to test the fire alarm every week?

Every week, a manual call point should be operated during normal working hours. The weekly test should be carried out at approximately the same time each week.

A different manual call point should be used at the time of every weekly test, so that all manual call points in the building are tested in rotation over a prolonged period.

What is fire alarm maintenance?

Fire alarm maintenance ensures that buildings are compliant with UK fire safety legislation and meet the codes of practice for BS5839-1 (Fire detection and fire alarm systems for buildings) in non-domestic properties.
Fire maintenance can include inspections, servicing, repairing and upgrading fire alarm systems within a building to ensure they are in working order and up to date.
This can include the maintenance of emergency lighting, fire alarm panels or different types of fire alarms that contribute to a premises fire detection system.

Does my fire alarm system have to be maintained?

Yes, under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, any “facilities equipment and devices” that are used to ensure a person’s safety must receive maintenance to ensure that it is in working order.
Therefore, it is a legal obligation for organisations to ensure that their fire alarm system is maintained on a regular basis.

How often does a fire alarm system need to be maintained?

A fire alarm system should be maintained once every six months. The period between inspection and servicing visits should not exceed a period of six months in order to ensure that your fire alarm system is meeting critical safety requirements.
This will ensure that in the event of a fire, the fire alarm system is in working order and meets the requirements of safeguarding legislation.
