What this sheet is for

Record routine alarm tests including which call point was used, so one faulty device does not sit untested for a year.

Who it is for

Halls, shops, offices, clubs, care settings, HMOs and any premises with a fire alarm system.

How to use it

  1. Rotate the call point tested and write down which one it was.
  2. Check the alarm is audible everywhere, including noisy and remote areas.
  3. Tell the monitoring centre before and after, and record that you did.
  4. Log faults and what was done about them, with dates.
  5. Record when the system was last serviced and when the next is due.

What is on the sheet

The layout is fixed at a size that fits both A4 and US Letter, so the A4 and Letter files are visually identical and print at full size on either. Rows are set at a height that an adult can actually write a date and a few words into with a pen — most printable tables are built in a word processor and never tested with one.
