Why Fire Alarm Maintenance is Important for Businesses

Fire Alarm Maintenance FAQs

What does fire alarm maintenance cover?

Fire alarm maintenance is the regular inspection, testing and servicing of fire detection and fire alarm systems in commercial properties. This ensures all components, such as detectors, control panels, batteries and call points are working correctly and comply with safety regulations.

When should fire alarm systems be checked and serviced?

Weekly testing of fire alarm call points and visual system checks should be done by the responsible person or trained staff. A full professional fire alarm servicing and maintenance visit should be done at least every 6 months to comply with BS 5839-1 and UK fire alarm regulations.

What are the risks of not maintaining fire alarm systems?

Not maintaining fire alarm systems can result in undetected faults, delayed fire detection, false alarms and potential failure to alert building occupants. This puts safety at risk, damages property and can result in legal penalties for non-compliance with fire alarm maintenance requirements.
