Fire Alarms Newport

Fire alarm testing should be undertaken in two parts: non-maintenance testing by the user and UKAS accredited, third-party certified maintenance and servicing by professionals. Here are what those two elements should cover and how often they should be carried out. Fire alarms are an essential part of any commercial or public building, and it is crucial that they are regularly tested to ensure they are in good working order. User testing should be carried out weekly and should include checking that all alarms are in place and operational, as well as testing the manual call point and sounding the alarm to check that it is loud enough to be heard throughout the building. UKAS accredited, third-party certified maintenance and servicing should be carried out at least once a year, and should include a full test of the alarm system, as well as a visual inspection of all components. Fire alarm testing is a vital part of fire safety, and by ensuring that it is carried out regularly, you can help to protect your property and occupants from the dangers of fire.
