What is a Fire Alarm Certificate?
Fire Alarm Certificate Manchester — Everything You Need to Know
A Fire Alarm Certificate — also known as a Fire Alarm Test Certificate — is the official document issued by a qualified fire alarm engineer after testing every detector, alarm and control function at your property.
The inspection covers your smoke and heat detectors, sounders and visual alarms, manual call points, and the control panel. The engineer checks that every device triggers correctly, the battery backup holds charge, all system wiring is sound, and the panel logs and functions are working as they should.
Once testing is complete, a Fire Alarm Certificate is issued and emailed to you the same day. A copy is also provided to the responsible person on site as required by law.
