Do I need to carry out a weekly fire alarm test?
A fully operational and working fire alarm system is a regulatory requirement, therefore weekly testing is advised to ensure it works when you need it to and any issues identified. British standards advise that your fire alarm system is checked every week, it is documented in your fire alarm log book and any maintenance or repairs required are carried out and documented.
A different fire alarm within your property should be tested every week to check that the alarm sounds and the system panel receive the signal.
