BS5839:1 - 2017 recognises that although modern fire alarm systems incorporate a high degree of monitoring, so that faults are indicated at the control panel position, it is still necessary for a responsible person nominated by the company to ensure that fault indications at the panel are identified for appropriate action. It is also imperative for a regular test to be carried out to ensure that there has not been any major failure of the entire system, or significant part of the system.
BS5839:1 - 2017 recommends that the user / responsible person for the fire system tests their fire alarm system on a weekly basis. The recommendations of the standard are as follows:-
In addition to the weekly tests carried out by the user, periodic inspection and servicing needs to be carried out by a competent company certified by a UKAS accredited certification body with specialist knowledge and training of fire detection systems. ProudCastle Solutions are certified by the NSI who are a UKAS accredited certification body.
