Inspection

Inspections should be conducted at least four times a year at equally-spaced intervals, during which all steps for
identifying and assessing the actual status of the technical modules of a system should be carried out. The
recording range and/or accessibility of the fire detectors should also be checked visually.
The following should be inspected for correct functions:
The primary loop, of which at least one detector must be tested via activation, but when checking automatic
•
detectors only non-destructive testable devices.
All non-destructive testable fire detectors must be activated at least once a year.
•
At least once a year, even on destructive testable detectors.
•
If unauthorised deviation from the nominal conditions is confirmed during the inspection of a fire alarm
system, repairs should be carried out immediately.
Yearly maintenance and quarterly inspections should be incorporated into a maintenance
programme.
