A free printable call point test record — a numbered register of the call points on site, then a row per test: point used, whether it sounded, panel reset, faults and tester.

What this sheet is for
Show that the call points are being worked through in turn rather than the same convenient one being used every time.
Who it is for
Small employers, shops, pubs, halls, care settings and anyone whose site routine includes testing the fire alarm from a call point.
How to use it
- List and number every call point in the order you intend to work through them.
- At each test, write the date and the number of the point you used.
- Note whether the alarm sounded throughout the building, not just nearby.
- Confirm the panel was reset, and write down what it was showing afterwards.
- Write any fault and what was done about it, then move to the next number.
What is on the sheet
One page, top to bottom:
Printed under the title: The call points numbered once, then a row for each test: which point was used, whether it sounded, and that the panel was reset.
Take them in turn. Number the points in the register and take them in turn, so the log shows which one came round when. The routine itself is yours to set.

Questions
Why does the sheet not say how often to test?
Because that is set by your own routine, your alarm's documentation and the rules where you are. The sheet gives you a dated row each time you test; the frequency is yours to decide and yours to state.
How is this different from the fire alarm test log?
That log records the test itself in general terms. This one is built around the call points: each is numbered in the register, so the log shows which came round when and which has not been used for a while.
Should anyone be told before a test?
If your alarm is monitored, or people in the building would react to it, it is worth telling them first. There is a faults and notes column to record what you did.
