Why are Fire Alarm & Emergency tests important?

Fire alarms and emergency lighting are essential safety features in commercial buildings, ensuring that everyone can evacuate safely in the event of a fire or power failure. However, in order to function properly, they need to be regularly tested by a competent person. Arion is a company that provides fire alarm and emergency lighting testing services. It is a legal requirement for all fire alarms in commercial buildings to be tested to BS 5839-6:2019. This standard requires all fire alarm systems in commercial premises to be tested on a weekly basis. A weekly fire alarm test goes a long way to ensuring that all your fire alarm systems and emergency lighting are in good working order, keeping everyone safe in the event of a fire or power failure.
 

Here are some of the main reasons why fire alarm testing is important:

  • Ensure proper operation and early fire detection.
  • Comply with UK regulations and avoid legal consequences and fines.
  • Alert occupants of a building in case of fire, allowing them to evacuate safely.
  • Reduce false alarms and prevent disruptions to daily operations.
  • Maintain equipment, extending its lifespan and preventing costly breakdowns.

Here are some of the main reasons why emergency lighting testing is important:

  • Ensure proper functioning and sufficient lighting in case of power outages or emergencies, particularly in large or complex buildings.
  • Provide safe egress along escape routes and emergency exits.
  • Identify issues, such as burnt-out bulbs or damaged fixtures, for prompt resolution.
  • Reduce risks to occupants by preventing falls, collisions, and other hazards that can lead to injury.
  • Comply with UK regulations, avoiding legal consequences and penalties.
