Description of the Works
This is the fourth fire alarm visit for the testing year (October 2023 – September 2024) set out by the University's schedule and requires a visit of silent testing preceded (or followed) by LIVE TESTING which will involve activating all sounders and fire interfaces in the building(s).
During the LIVE TESTING, all sounders will be activated. BTS will be wearing ear defenders but cannot supply them to all the occupiers of the buildings. The building does not need to be evacuated but can be if the occupiers so wish. All interfaces will be activated which mostly (but not limited to) actions BMS links and door closures. There can be no exceptions due to the requirements of the tests. The alarms should be assumed to be activated for a period of up to 15 minutes from the time stated below (in brackets) unless otherwise stated.
A period of silent testing will follow (or precede) this where a selection of input devices around the building(s) will be activated silently. This will not activate any outputs on the system. BTS will regularly monitor the system for any real fires and raise the alarm if necessary.
