Pre-Work Tasks/Behaviours

  • Has the engineer signed in? (If applicable)

Pre-Inspection Checks

  • Has the engineer reviewed the logbook for for faults and false alarms? 45.3A

  • Has the engineer liaised with the client if there are any specific servicing requirements required?

  • Has the engineer corrected the time and date on the CIE if applicable?

  • Has the engineer confirmed there is a local safe isolation spur? 25.2 (c)

  • Has the engineer confirmed operation of the local isolation can only be operated by a special tool ? (a special tool is not likely to be carried by a member of the public, slot screw or flip out fuses are deemed unsatisfactory) 25.2 (g)

  • Has the engineer confirmed if the isolator is suitably labelled with a fade resistant label marked "Fire Alarm - Do Not Switch Off?" 25.2 (f) & (g)

  • Has the engineer confirmed that suitable zone charts are sited on or adjacent to all CIE`s including repeaters/mimic panels? (must have building entrances and exits, circulation spaces and be divided into suitable zones which is a true representation of the premises it serves).23.2.2(e)

Panel Checks

  • Have all visual indicators and function buttons on the CIE been tested and operate correctly? 45.3 (i)

  • Have all fault indications been tested by generation of fault conditions to confirm these are correct? (mains/batteries/open circuits including sounders where applicable? (12.2.1)

  • Has the engineer confirmed that the CIE standby supply is within its 4 year date? 25.4(b)

  • Has the standby power supply capacity been checked to establish they remain within the manufactures required specification with a ACT battery tester?

  • Has the engineer documented the ACT readings on the labels provided and can be read without disturbing the batteries? 25.4 (c)

  • Within the requirements of the inspection, periodic or annual, has the mains been disconnected and a full load reading been taken? 25.4 (e1 ) (e2)

  • Has the engineer carried out a battery calculation to confirm the correct size for the system it serves ? (Qx24hr + Ax1.25)

  • Has the engineer tested the battery charge rate and documented the voltage reading?

  • Has the engineer confirmed if there are a minimum of 2 sounder circuits if a conventional system? 12.2.2 (i) & 16.2.1 (i)

  • Has the engineer checked that all terminals within the CIE are secure to help avoid potential false alarms?

  • Has the engineer confirmed that the local isolation has the correct fuse? (3 or 5 Amp)

Inspection Checks

  • Did the engineer test the switch mechanism's of manual call points, either by removal of the frangible element, insertion of a test key or operation of the device as it would be operated in the event of fire?

  • Did the engineer carryout a function test by a method that confirms that smoke can enter the detection chamber and produced a fire signal?

  • Did the engineer carryout a function test by means of a suitable heat source and produced a fire signal?

  • Have multi-sensors been tested by a method that confirms both heat and smoke can enter the detection chamber and produced a fire signal?

  • Has the correct percentage of devices been tested?

  • Have all tested devices/labels been clearly identified?

  • Has the correct zone indications been confirmed?

  • If any detection or call point devices were replaced at the time of service, did the engineer confirm their full operation?

  • If any call points at the time of service were replaced did the engineer supply and fit a protected cover? 20.2(b)

  • Has the CIE functions been tested by removing a device and operating a MCP for fire/fault per zone/circuit? 12.2.2(e1)

  • Have all areas been checked for correct sound pressures ? (common areas 65db/sleep areas 75db/corridors 60db)

  • If a pressure test is not granted, (with a sound level meter) did the engineer verify with the responsible person(s) that the sound pressures were clearly heard?

  • Have visual alarms been checked for correct operation?

  • Have any ancillary functions been tested where practicable ? (Maglocks/Doors/Shut Off`s)

  • Where practicable has the engineer tested at least one cause and effect?

  • Did the engineer test the printer for full operation?

  • Did the engineer ensure that all printer consumables are sufficient in quantity to ensure that the printer will continue to operate until the next service visit?

  • Has system been returned to normal and left fault free?

  • Has the engineer contacted the ARC to confirm if fire, or fire and fault signals have been received and restored correctly?

Post Inspection & Servicing

  • Has a visual inspection been made to confirm that all cable and fixings are correct and secure where practicable?

  • Did the engineer confirm that all point detection are fitted 500mm or more from all light fittings?

  • Did the engineer confirm that all point detection are fitted 500mm or more from walls/partitions?

  • Did the engineer confirm there is a clear space (500mm) below automatic detectors?

  • Did the engineer confirm detection is installed either side of storage racks/partitions if the gap between the ceiling and rack is less than 300mm? (treat as a wall) 22.3(j)

  • Where a beam is greater than 10% of the ceiling height, (treat as a wall) has the engineer confirmed there is detection installed 500mm either side? 22.3(k)
