Fire Alarm Testing in London
WHAT
http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2005/1541/article/13/made
To safeguard the safety of relevant persons, the responsible person must ensure that (a)the premises are, to the extent that it is appropriate, equipped with appropriate fire-fighting equipment and with fire detectors and alarms.
A working fire alarm system should give enough warning to save lives and give firefighters enough time to limit property damage.
WHY
Over time smoke detectors become less sensitive, standby batteries in control panels can become weak and general faults develop. This can lead to false alarms or in the worst case a fire not being detected.
