What is it?

This is a blank operational log, with space for test results, servicing and fault follow-up. It records what happened; it is separate from a system's design, installation or commissioning certificate. Choose the test and service arrangements for the actual system, building and fire risk assessment.

About this template

Keep a chronological record of the fire alarm checks and maintenance arranged for a building. The responsible person records the system, the agreed test regime and who carries it out. Each entry links a test or fault to the action taken and the person responsible for follow-up.

When to use

  • Recording a planned alarm test
  • Logging a fault, false alarm or maintenance visit
  • Handing over the test history to the responsible person or servicing contractor

Tips

  1. 1Follow the system's specified test regime and record the actual device tested.
  2. 2Record a fault and its follow-up rather than marking an incomplete check as passed.
  3. 3Keep the log accessible with the fire-safety records.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a fire alarm certificate?

No. This log records tests, maintenance and faults. Design, installation and commissioning evidence are separate.

Does the log establish BS 5839 compliance?

No. The competent person assesses the applicable system and standard. Complete the log with the checks actually carried out.

Is a domestic alarm record the same thing?

No. A domestic detection-system record and a building's ongoing alarm log serve different purposes. Choose the record for the work performed.
