Why You Need a Fire Alarm Testing
Fire alarm systems degrade over time due to dust accumulation, battery deterioration, and component wear. Without regular testing, a fire alarm system may fail when it's needed most. BS 5839 specifies testing frequencies, and Fire Risk Assessments require evidence that fire alarm systems are properly maintained and tested.
