Regulatory Requirements

NFPA 72 National Fire Alarm Code Covers the application, inspection, testing, location, performance and maintenance of Fire alarm systems.This code establishes the minimum level of performance but does not establish the only methods by which these requirements are to be achieved.

  • Annual Fire alarm inspection
  • Inspect control panel
  • Verify monitoring connection
  • Inspect annunciator
  • Test pull stations
  • Test bells
  • Test audible/visual devices
  • Test elevator recall
  • Test door holder’s
  • Test smoke detector sensitivity every two year’s
  • Test duct detectors
  • Test thermal detectors
  • Test tamper switches
  • Test flow switches
  • Test ground fault detection circuitry
  • Test for grounded field wiring
  • Load test of standby batteries

Fire Alarm Inspection Process

  • Test the control panel functions to include the lamps and LED’s, check fuses, interf primary power.
  • Test smoke detectors by introducing approved aerosol into smoke detector chamber, or specic manufacturer recommended methods of performing the proper test and verify the proper signal was received at the alarm panel.
  • Clean all smoke detectors properly.

  • Test heat detectors with a heat gun and verify proper alarm activation at the Fire alarm control panel.
  • Test and inspect all audible and visual devices to ensure that they are unobstructed, proper lights activate and the sound level is above ambient noise levels.
  • Random check of circuit supervision to ensure fire alarm panel detects an open circuit.
  • Load test stand-by batteries and check auxiliary functions such as door release and damper release.
  • Test battery charger.
  • If a dialer is installed, verify the central station monitoring company received the appropriate signals.
  • Remote annunciator is tested to verify it accurately portrays where the alarm exists in the protected premises.
  • Test duct detectors and ensure proper unit shutdown, if applicable.
    Check any auxiliary devices that may exist and are listed on the equipment list included in this contract (door holder release, dampers, etc).
  • NFPA requires sensitivity testing of smoke detectors to be performed initially and every other year thereafter.
  • This service is not included in this contract unless specifically stated and for an additional fee.
