Fire Alarm Maintenance and BS 5839-1:2025
Commercial fire detection and alarm systems in non-domestic premises are commonly maintained with reference to BS 5839-1:2025.
The standard provides recommendations covering the design, installation, commissioning and maintenance of fire detection and fire alarm systems in non-domestic premises.
Regular professional servicing forms an important part of managing a commercial fire alarm system throughout its working life.
How Often Should a Commercial Fire Alarm Be Serviced?
The appropriate servicing arrangements depend on the system, building and applicable fire safety requirements.
Commercial fire alarm systems should have a planned inspection and maintenance programme rather than waiting until a fault occurs.
Your fire risk assessment, system documentation and relevant standards should be considered when determining the appropriate servicing programme for your premises.
AK Fire Safety can establish a planned maintenance schedule for your building or portfolio so that future visits can be managed consistently.
