Frequently asked questions about Fire Alarm Commissioning

What is the difference between installation and commissioning?
The installation certificate confirms the system has been physically installed correctly. The commissioning certificate confirms each device has been individually tested and the complete system operates as designed, including sounder levels, battery backup, and cause-and-effect programming.
What sound levels are required?
BS 5839-1 requires minimum 65dB in general occupied areas and 75dB at the bedhead in sleeping accommodation. Maximum sound level should not exceed 120dB at any point.
