3.1 RESPONSIBLE USER
BritishstandardBS5839-1: 2002, ‘Fire detection and fire alarm systems for buildings’ section7details the
responsibilities for the fire alarmuser. These recommendations shouldbe followed. For guidance onthese
recommendations, please refer tothe organisationthat is responsible for servicing your fire alarmsystem.
These recommendations include :-
1. The fire alarmcontrol andindicating equipment is checkedat least once every24 htoconfirmthat there are no
faults onthe system.
2. The systemlogbookis kept uptodate andis available for inspectionbyanyauthorisedperson.
3. The routine testing is performedinaccordance withthe recommendations ofBS5839-1: 2002 section6.
The above recommendations are only a selection taken fromthe standard. For a full list of
the recommendations refer to BS5839-1 : 2002.
3.2 ROUTINE TESTS
BritishstandardBS5839-1: 2002, ‘Fire detection and fire alarm systems for buildings’ section6provides
recommendations for routine testing ofthe fire alarmbythe user. These recommendations shouldbe followed. For
guidance onthese recommendations, please refer tothe organisationthat is responsible for servicing your fire alarm
system.
These recommendations include :-
a) Everyweek, a manual call point shouldbe operatedduring normal working hours. It shouldbe confirmedthat
the control equipment is capable ofprocessing a fire alarmsignal andproviding anoutput tofire alarmsounders,
andtoensure that the fire alarmsignal is correctlyreceivedat anyalarmreceiving centre towhichfire alarm
signals are transmitted.
b) Inpremises inwhichsome employees onlyworkduring hours other thanthat at whichthe fire alarmsystemis
normallytested, anadditional test(s) shouldbe carriedout at least once a monthtoensure familiarityofthese
employees withthe fire alarmsignal(s).
c) Adifferent manual call point shouldbe usedat the time ofthe weeklytest, sothat all manual call points inthe
building are testedinrotationover a prolongedperiod. There is nomaximumlimit for this period (egina system
with150 manual call points, the user will test eachmanual call point every150 weeks). The result ofthe weekly
test andthe identityofthe manual call point usedshouldbe recordedinthe systemlogbook.
The above recommendations are only a selection taken fromthe standard. For a full list of
the recommendations refer to BS5839-1 : 2002.
