How Often Should Fire Alarms Be Tested?

BS 5839-1:2017 requires weekly testing of fire alarm systems, with monthly testing of different manual call points and annual full testing of all system components. We can establish a regular testing schedule that meets these requirements while fitting around your building operations and minimising disruption to staff and visitors.

If we identify faults during testing, we provide immediate failed inspection support with detailed fault reports and recommended remedial actions. Our engineers can often resolve minor issues during the same visit, or we can schedule repair work to restore full system compliance quickly and efficiently.
