What this sheet is for

Give an interlinked or commercial alarm system tested every week its own year-long record, rather than squeezing a weekly habit into a sheet built for monthly testing.

Who it is for

Workplaces, shared housing, holiday lets and anyone whose alarm system or local rules call for weekly rather than monthly testing.

How to use it

  1. Fill in what the system covers once, at the top.
  2. Tick the week as you test it, every week, in order.
  3. Note any fault immediately, even if it cleared itself on a retest.
  4. Start a new sheet each year and keep the old ones together.

What is on the sheet

3 pages, in this order:

Page 1

Printed under the title: A weekly test record for a smoke alarm system tested more often than once a month — common for interlinked and commercial systems in workplaces, shared housing and holiday lets — one tick a week across a full year.

For systems tested weekly, not monthly. How often your alarms need testing is set by your manufacturer, your insurer, and in many workplaces and rented properties by local fire safety rules, and it differs by country and by alarm type. Use this sheet where weekly is what applies to you; for ordinary monthly domestic testing, use the Smoke and CO Alarm Test Log instead.

Questions

How do I know if weekly testing applies to me?

That is set by your alarm manufacturer, your insurer, and in many workplaces and rented properties by local fire safety rules, and it differs by country and by system. If you only need monthly testing, use the Smoke and CO Alarm Test Log instead.
