Report of Inspection/ Testing / Maintenance of Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP)
Here are some procedures you’ll want to adapt for maintaining your alarm system:
- Check daily to ensure the system is working correctly. Record faults and failures, and fix then them.
- Test at least one detector call point weekly, as well as smoke and flame detectors. Make sure to calibrate alarm sensors.
- With systems that have numerous zones (more than 13), test more than one zone weekly.
- Check the automatic release of fire doors weekly. Also, on a weekly basis, check for disconnections of alarm sounder or transmission signals.
- Make a weekly report of defects, and alert the appropriate person to fix any problems.
- Examine batteries and connections quarterly, and replace as needed.
- Check alarm functions of indicating and control equipment quarterly. Also, test the alarm sounders quarterly, as well as links to independent monitoring companies.
- Every four months, make sure there are no obstructions around detectors.
- Ensure that a competent individual reviews your system on an annual basis, even if quarterly procedures have been carried out. This includes checking detectors for correct operation.
- Arrange for an annual inspection of cable fittings and equipment, confirming they’re secure and protected, not damaged.
- Obtain a certificate of testing after it’s determined that all of the above inspections and corrections have been made.
