Frequently asked questions about Fire Alarm Verification

How often should fire alarm systems be verified?

BS 5839-1:2025 recommends inspection and servicing at intervals of approximately six months (any time between five and seven months after the previous visit). An independent verification is a separate check, often made when a system is handed over or when changing service providers. Insurers may ask for their own inspections.

What is the difference between verification and routine servicing?

Routine servicing (approximately every 6 months under BS 5839-1:2025) checks system operation. Verification is a more thorough independent assessment that evaluates the entire system against current standards and identifies design or installation deficiencies.
