Fire Alarm Testing

Automatic fire detection (AFD) and alarm systems are designed to protect the lives of occupants, property or both in the event of a fire. Which is why all alarms must be tested once every six months by a competent person (A fire alarm engineer up to the British Standard B2 5839-1). The components of an AFD system include:

• Trigger devices/sensors (Call points and detectors)
• Control and indicating equipment associated power supplies
• Alarm devices
• Visual Alarm devices

All of which are checked/ tested in the six monthly test to ensure that everything is up to the British Standard (BS 5839-1 Fire detection and alarm systems for buildings) AFDs are designed and tested to:

• Reduce occurrences of hazards
• Assist early warning
• Aid in escape of the premises
• Prevent fire growth
