In accordance with the BS5839-1, and the RRO the fire alarm system should be tested weekly and have a service and maintenance every six months. This criteria applies whether the it is a convention, addressable or wireless fire alarm.
To carry out the weekly fire alarm test, a different manual call point should be tested each week and the results recorded.
With regards to the fire alarm maintenance, usually a professional fire alarm company such as BAFE accredited Fire Systems Ltd, should be used to test and inspect, all elements of the fire alarm operations to ensure all is working correctly.
Testing the fire alarm system and all other fire protection equipment is key in relation to the RRO that came into force in October 2006
