Commercial Systems: Include more complex systems such as:
Conventional Fire Alarms: Divided into zones.
Addressable Fire Alarms: Identify the exact location of a fire.
Wireless Fire Alarms: Use radio signals instead of cables.
Weekly: Basic functional tests (e.g., activating a call point or testing a smoke detector).
Annually: Full inspection and servicing by a qualified engineer.
After Installation: A certificate should be issued after initial installation or major upgrades.
Visual Checks: Inspecting detectors, call points, and control panels for damage or obstructions.
Functional Tests: Testing alarms, sounders, and backup power supplies.
System Checks: Verifying the system’s compliance with BS 5839 standards.
Reporting: Providing a detailed report and certificate.
Domestic Systems: £50–£150 for a basic inspection.
