Maintenance du système d'alarme incendie

In addition to installing fire detection systems, it is imperative for the safety of life and property to perform all scheduled inspections and maintenance tasks to ensure the system maintains its original performance level.

For the system to operate effectively, it is necessary to adhere to a structured process that includes installation, commissioning, servicing, and subsequent actions. The activation of fire detection systems marks the beginning of the temporary acceptance phase. After completing both the provisional and final acceptance processes, it is essential to establish periodic control and maintenance agreements for all fire alarm systems, which may include both mandatory and optional services.

Periodic inspections and maintenance should be conducted at least once a year. Fire alarm systems must be maintained in excellent condition to protect life and property within the facility. Any issues must be rectified immediately, with repairs or replacements made as needed based on the system's condition. These assessments should be performed by authorized service providers or qualified personnel.

What is the Purpose of Periodic Control and Maintenance Procedures?
The purpose of periodic control and maintenance procedures is to enhance the performance and reliability of fire alarm systems while extending their longevity. This process involves the examination of fire panels, sirens, flashing lights, control buttons, carbon monoxide detection systems, emergency lighting, detectors, explosion-proof detectors, and fire extinguishing systems. Each component is cleaned, adjustments are made to rectify any issues, and parts that are beyond repair are replaced.

Given the potential risks to life and property associated with fire alarm systems, it is imperative that these systems are installed by certified professionals or authorized personnel who possess relevant experience and expertise in the specific institution and brand. Preference should be given to companies that are well-established in the fire detection industry and have a proven track record. Many reputable brands provide authorized service certificates to their dealers in this regard. As building managers, it is essential to request documentation and references from the company responsible for the routine inspection and maintenance of fire alarm systems to verify their qualifications. This is crucial, as both the maintenance company and building managers share the responsibility and risk in the event of a fire, particularly if the task is entrusted to unqualified individuals or organizations. Key considerations include:

- Regular checks and performance testing of fire alarm systems.
- Verification of the operability of devices linked to the fire alarm system based on potential fire scenarios.
- Assessment of the functionality of electronic components within the fire alarm panel.
- Testing the alarm function on a regional basis from devices associated with the fire alarm systems.
- Evaluation of the functionality of power supply sources.
- Examination of detectors that trigger pollution alarms within the fire detection system software, with efforts made to resolve any issues.
- Testing and verification of fault monitoring features in the control and indicator equipment of fire alarm systems.
- Checking the status and connections of fire alarm system batteries.
- Utilizing software to identify errors or problems within the fire alarm system.
- Enhancing the performance of fire alarm devices by updating the fire detection system software on the control panel.
- Cleaning detectors connected to the fire alarm system as necessary.

The reporting and identification of faults following the routine inspection and maintenance of fire alarm systems are crucial. All assessments must be conducted using licensed and compatible maintenance equipment for fire alarm systems. Any devices that are at the end of their life cycle, such as batteries, or those that are found to be defective during these inspections, should be replaced without delay. Additionally, a significant benefit of these routine maintenance operations is the verification of the software alongside the system. Any necessary updates or modifications should be implemented promptly.
