Fire Alarm System will be inspected in accordance with NFPA Standard 72, the local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) and the manufacturer guidelines. Commercial Fire will conduct semi annual inspections as required by local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) and at a minimum perform annual inspections of the fire alarm system to include:
- A complete inspection of the fire alarm system control panel(s)
- Inspection to ensure proper zone operation
- Inspect all manual pull stations
- Inspect smoke detectors and magnetic hold open devices
- Inspect sprinkler water flow alarms
- Inspect heat detectors
- Inspect and test audible alarm bells
- Inspect and test area smoke detectors
- Inspect and confirm that the systems power supplies including battery back ups are functioning
- If the system is monitored, ensure that a signal was received at the central station
- Any defect found will be noted and sent to your attention with a cost quotation for repairs and re-certification
Current fire codes insist that every other year smoke detection devices must have a sensitivity test in addition to the inspection. Commercial Fire can perform these tests to ensure compliance.
