Overview
This one day Fire Alarm Servicing Training course is aimed at those who wish to perform quarterly inspections, maintain fire alarm systems and use best-in-class documentation to ensure traceability. It will enable learners to maintain and functionally test conventional and addressable fire alarm systems according to I.S. 3218:2013.
Who should attend
Electrical Contractors, Property Maintenance Contractors, In-house maintenance staff managing large industrial units and multiple sites.
Why should I attend:
Specialist Fire Alarm companies should be contracted to perform detailed Commissioning compliance testing but equipment functional testing is a far less complex task that does not require such a high degree of specialist knowledge. This course will enable you to demonstrate your competence in quarterly function testing of fire alarm systems and know when to call in the specialists.
