FIRE ALARM MAINTENANCE EXPLAINED:

You have a fire alarm installed at your premises to protect your building and its occupants. Legally, this must be serviced at least once every six months (according to BS 5839-1: 2017)

It is essential that this system functions properly as, in the event of a fire, this acts as an early warning, enabling safe and timely evacuation.

You are legally obliged to ensure that this detection system works and is in line with current regulatory standards. To do this, you must have fire alarm maintenance carried out by a competent person. On top of this, if your competent specialist/maintenance provider recommends replacements or repairs, it is the duty of the responsible person to ensure these works are carried out.

Artius Fire Protection is the best choice for your fire alarm maintenance, being a leading BAFE-accredited provider to hundreds of customers across UK.

During your maintenance visits, we’ll check and test the following before issuing you with a certificate report and any recommendations to be carried out:

• Battery condition
• Accuracy of zone plans
• Heat and smoke detectors
• Manual call points and zones
• Radio signals (if radio/wireless)
• Control panel functions and visuals
• False alarms requiring investigation
