INTRODUCTION

The maintenance schedule for building fire alarm systems follows the guidance provided in the latest edition of BS 5839-1, Detection and Alarm Systems for Buildings - Code of practice for system design, installation and servicing. In addition to the quarterly and annual servicing of fire alarm systems there is a requirement for a functional test to be carried out each week and recorded in the fire alarm logbook.

Generally, UCL Estates Maintenance Team (EMT), Academic Estates Maintenance Team (AEMT) or Contractor (Fisk) carry out the weekly testing. In some premises the Landlord (or in a few places) local UCL Dept. Managers are responsible for carrying out the weekly test and record the details.

The weekly test will normally mean that the alarm will sound for approximately up to a minute1_{on the day and between}

times shown below (or as per local arrangements). In some buildings where more than one fire alarm systems are interconnected, there will be more than one short test (up to 2 or 3) – see notes below **:

NOTE: AN ALARM SOUNDING FOR LONGER THAN ONE MINUTE SHOULD BE TREATED AS A FULL FIRE ALARM ACTIVATION AND YOU SHOULD EVACUATE THE BUILDING IMMEDIATELY

General Notes:

Note 1 - if your building is not shown then the Landlord (or other e.g. Hospital) is responsible for testing and will publish their own schedule. Please find out when your building(s) or where you are working or teaching are tested.

Note 2: - **indicates that one or more building fire alarm systems are interconnected and there will be multi-tests. Note 3: - ##_{indicates that these building should not tested before 8am to stop annoyance of neighbours.}

Note 4 - maintenance and testing of the building fire alarm systems within the core campus area and some outlying sites is the responsibility of the UCL Estates, Facilities Engineering, Maintenance & Infrastructure (EM&I).
