Frequently asked questions about Fire Alarm Verification

How often should fire alarm systems be verified?
BS 5839-1 recommends periodic inspection at intervals agreed with the responsible person, typically annually. Insurance requirements may specify more frequent inspections. Independent verification is especially important when changing service providers.
What is the difference between verification and routine servicing?
Routine servicing (every 6 months per BS 5839-1) checks system operation. Verification is a more thorough independent assessment that evaluates the entire system against current standards and identifies design or installation deficiencies.
