NFPA 72 National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code provides the minimum but essential guidelines for the inspection, testing, and maintenance (ITM) of fire alarm systems, including their initiating devices and notification appliances. The property owner, or their designated representative, is responsible for ensuring these critical tasks are carried out in compliance with the code.

To meet the obligation of code compliance, many owners/representatives rely on professional fire alarm service providers, such as a licensed fire alarm service company or a low energy (limited energy) electrician certified in fire detection installation. These firms have the training and licenses needed to conduct a thorough fire alarm inspection, test and repair to keep the fire alarm system in peak condition.

Fire Alarm System Inspection

Our experienced fire alarm service technicians are trained and certified to perform the visual inspection and functional testing of the fire alarm system components, documenting any changes since the last recordkeeping cycle and confirming the parameters of the system remain in compliance with the manufacturer specifications and the local code. Changes made to a fire alarm system after the fire detection installer has attained approval could compromise the system's functionality. Any deviations that put the system outside the tolerances set by the manufacturer or the specifications of the local code will trigger a correction plan to be presented to the owner.

Fire Alarm System Testing

NFPA 72 National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code provides a Schedule of Test Table for required test intervals for every device, appliance, and system connected to a fire alarm panel that makes up the fire alarm system for a building.

A trained fire alarm technician will have the specialized equipment required to test these different devices. Our technicians use a mix of traditional tools and cutting-edge, high-tech equipment for precise testing results. Engaging a skilled technician from a trusted fire alarm inspection company ensures that they will use the appropriate tools effectively, giving you a reliable report you can trust.

The fire alarm system is dynamic. Changes in weather, the environment, and the building's structure may affect individual devices or the system overall. Aware of this, manufacturers mandate regular testing, as structured by NFPA standards and enforced by local codes. A fire alarm service company provides building owners with a reliable method to fulfill their code compliance obligations and establish a sound fire/life safety plan for their property.
