Fire Damper Testing

All fire dampers should be inspected and tested annually in accordance with BS9999. Aqua compliance services can undertake this service with any defects being logged, detailing any necessary remedial actions, and issuing the testing report / certification upon completion.

There are specific requirements to adhere to HTM03-01 regulations within hospitals: Regular tests, at intervals agreed with the local fire prevention officer, will need to be carried out in order to demonstrate the continuing efficiency of the fire detection and containment systems. These may be in addition to the inspections detailed above. Records of these tests should be kept. All fire dampers should be tested as part of the annual verification.
