Sprinkler System Inspection

Got a Sprinkler System? Let’s Make Sure It’s Ready for Anything!

Think of your fire sprinkler system as a silent guardian, always on the lookout. It’s a super effective way to stop fire in its tracks, but just like your car or your boiler, it needs a regular check-up to make sure it’s in tip-top condition. That’s where independent sprinkler system inspections come in – they’re the safest and most reliable way to keep things running smoothly, just like the experts recommend.

Sprinkler systems are designed to match the specific risks of a building. So, if you’ve made any changes to how the building is laid out, what’s stored there, or the work that goes on inside, it could seriously affect how well your sprinkler system would perform in a fire.

How Often Does Your Sprinkler System Need a Check-Up?

Because keeping your sprinkler system in good working order is so important, an annual service is a must-do. The experts even wrote it down in the rule book (BS EN 12845), saying that:

“Your sprinkler system should be checked out by an independent third party at least once a year."

Who’s Allowed to Take a Look? It Can’t Be Just Anyone!

The folks who make the rules (LPC Rules for Automatic Sprinkler Installations 2015, TB203.2.4.1) are pretty clear on this one too. They say that these inspections have to be done by someone who’s completely independent.

That means the inspection can’t be done by:

• The person who owns the system
• The people using the building
• The company that installed the system
• The company that does the regular service and maintenance
• Insurance companies (for their own commercial reasons)
