Article Summary:
What You Need to Know About Fire Alarm Testing
Fire alarm systems should be tested and inspected regularly, with the frequency of testing and maintenance dependent on the type of system and AHJ requirements. Regular testing should include verifying the operation of all fire alarm devices, including smoke and heat detectors, pull stations, and annunciator systems. Maintenance should include cleaning components and replacing damaged or malfunctioning components. Fire alarm testing and maintenance should only be done by qualified and trained individuals or companies who are familiar with the Canadian Fire Alarm System Standards and certified by a recognized agency. Failure to properly test and maintain fire alarm systems can lead to property damage, injury, or loss of life.
