Fire Alarm Certificate

What is a Fire Alarm Certificate?

A fire alarm certificate is a document that proves that your fire alarm system meets the current requirements.

It is issued by a certified person, and it is valid for one year.

The certificate shows that your fire alarm system has been tested and found to be compliant with the fire safety regulations.

Two grade rules should maintain during Fire Alarm inspection:

Grade A Fire Alarm system

Grade A fire alarm system is required in addition to the following items:

• Heat Alarm Detector
• Smoke Alarm Detector
• Manual Call Board
• Central Control Board
• Bell or Alarm Sound Device
• CO2 Alarm Detector

A Grade fire alarm system is most often used in commercial premises, although it may also be utilized in a residential environment.

Grade D Fire Alarm System:

In ordinary circumstances, a Grade D fire alarm system is interlinked to smoke or heat alarms, which indicate the greatest duration this building has been utilised for domestic dwellings.

12 months is required for the full test to obtain a fire alarm certificate.

Every year, a full check of the fire alarm system is required by law. A competent person must approve the test. BS5839 part 1 section 6 requires that the fire alarm assessment be kept up to date after your testing is done. You will receive a fire alarm certificate after the complete inspection.

Daily checklist of Fire Alarm

• The alarm panel is in its normal position.
• Any faults noticed to fix.
• Inspection of the panel’s surface is a visual check.

Every day inspections are necessary, and if any outstanding issue is not resolved, contact the maintenance fire alarm firm or company.

Weekly checklist of Fire Alarm Testing

• There’s also a daily checklist, which is identical to the weekly one.
• Make a weekly sound alarm where you may hear the sound device is operating.

Fire Alarm Certificate Checklist

The following is a list of items that will be inspected during your Fire Alarm inspection. We want you to read through this before an electrician arrives to ensure that everything is for your Fire Alarming Certificate.

• Ensure that your electrician has access to the control panel. Any obstructions in this area will prevent the fire alarm check.
• Please provide us with a rough estimate of the control panel and consumer unit’s heights. We can then obtain the appropriate ladders as a result of this information. This is to ensure that access is sufficient.
• When we arrive, make sure the fire alarms are working. We can’t perform the test unless there is power.
• Any known faults of the fire alarm panel should be reported to us. Also, give the make and model of your device.
• Count the number of fire alarm sensors, call points, Sounders, and Panels we’re testing; let us know how many things and areas there are. This is to ensure that we do not overlook any items or locations.
• If circumstances prevent you from performing thorough tests, early indications of problems/suggestions may be available. It’s impossible to do comprehensive testing in these cases; Early indicators of risks/advice are visible; Locate a place where testing may be done.
