Fire Alarm/Smoke Detectors - Bell Tests

Routine fire alarm testing is mandatory for all businesses/homes equipped with a fire alarm system. To ensure legal compliance, your fire alarm system should undergo weekly testing and be maintained by a qualified professional. Generally, the fire alarm test, which involves sounding the alarm, is conducted on the same day and at the same time each week. This consistency helps occupants recognise that there is no need to evacuate during the test.

Remember, this is in addition to fire alarm maintenance or fire alarm servicing.
