What Is Tested During a Commercial Fire Safety Certificate London Inspection?
A certified Commercial Fire Safety Certificate London inspection by CertiVest London evaluates every active fire protection device across your premises to guarantee rapid alert, visible evacuation routing, and effective first-response suppression.
1. Smoke & Heat Detectors (BS 5839)
Functional aerosol smoke and heat wand testing across optical, ionisation, and thermal rate-of-rise detectors to ensure rapid detection and zero chamber contamination.
2. Manual Call Points & Alarm Sounders
Testing break-glass manual call point mechanisms, electronic sounder decibel outputs (minimum 65 dB(A) or 75 dB(A) at bedheads), and strobe beacon synchronisation.
3. Fire Panel & Standby Battery Load
Auditing main control and indicating equipment (CIE), loop continuity, power supply fault lines, and conducting 24h standby + 30m alarm battery load discharge calculations.
4. Emergency Lighting (BS 5266)
Executing key-switch failure simulations, full 3-hour annual discharge duration verification, lux illumination level measurement, and battery recharge audits.
5. Portable Fire Extinguishers (BS 5306)
Annual basic service on Water, Foam, CO2, Powder, and Wet Chemical units—verifying pressure gauges, safety pins, weight measurements, nozzles, and tamper seals.
6. Logbook & Zone Chart Verification
Checking weekly test records, false alarm event logs, contractor maintenance histories, and ensuring up-to-date printed zone plan diagrams are posted beside the main panel.
BS 5306 Portable Fire Extinguisher Annual Maintenance
Extinguishers that sit unchecked can fail during an emergency due to depressurisation, powder clumping, or nozzle blockages.
