Introduction
Current regulations state that all business premises in the UK and Ireland must have a fire detection system to alert occupants in case of a fire.
Fire alarms need regular testing and inspection by a ‘competent’ person to ensure that they are not only in full working order but to also prevent the risk of any false alarms.

Common FAQs
A fire alarm detects smoke and heat in a building. When this happens, the alarm sounds and lights flash so that people can safely evacuate the premises.
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 advises that all workplaces should be “to the extent that is appropriate, be equipped with appropriate fire-fighting equipment and with fire detectors and alarms”. These should be “subject to a suitable system of maintenance and be maintained in an efficient state, in efficient working order, and in good repair.”
Fire alarms should be tested once a week. British Standard 5839 advises that fire alarm systems are thoroughly tested every six months, however, systems should be tested more frequently for a large or high-risk building.
The person responsible for fire safety could be liable for an unlimited fine or a two-year prison sentence if regulations are not followed.
Weekly: A ‘competent person’ must test a fire alarm. This doesn’t have to be an engineer or electrician, but someone who knows the system – for example, the building manager or a fire warden.
Six-monthly: A six-monthly fire alarm service needs to be carried out by a specialist electrician or engineer.
