The legal requirement for fire alarm testing combines several layers of obligation. Under BS5839-1, a qualified engineer must carry out a formal fire alarm inspection and service at least every six months. In addition, a competent member of staff should carry out a weekly functional test of the system. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 also requires the responsible person for any non-domestic premises to ensure that fire detection and alarm systems are maintained in an efficient state, in efficient working order and in good repair at all times.
An electrical installation condition report certificate is typically valid for five years for both rental properties and most commercial premises. However, the report itself may recommend an earlier reinspection depending on the age and condition of the installation. A new certificate of electrical installation should always be obtained following any significant remedial works carried out after the inspection.
