MAINTENANCE & SERVICING
Government guidance states: "Signs must be used, where necessary, to help people identify escape routes, and find fire-fighting equipment and emergency fire telephones. These signs are required under the Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996 and must comply with the provisions of those regulations."
ANNUAL WET TEST & 6 MONTH VISUAL CHECK
Dry and wet risers are checked and pressure tested 12 bar for a minimum of 15 minutes. All insets and outlets are checked for leaks and any missing or faulty items are replaced.
Flow testing is also carried out. If any valves have to be replaced a further pressure test will be carried out before certification is issued.
The 6 monthly visual check involves a visual inspection as required by BS9990:2015 and any missing or damaged items are replaced.
FIRE HYDRANT TESTS
For large premises with hydrants on site, Lindum Fire Services will test flow rates and undertake static pressure tests, carry out a visual inspection of the location, H plate, cover and frost valve.
BS9990:2015 clause 7 requires checking of pits, frames, covers and surface paving around the edges of frames in order to remain compliant.
