FAQs
Who needs to maintain a fire alarm log book?
Any responsible person for premises with a fire alarm system must maintain testing and maintenance records under The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. This typically includes building owners, employers, facilities managers or designated fire safety officers who have legal responsibility for fire safety on the premises.
What information should be recorded in the log book?
The log book should contain complete details of your fire alarm system including panel specifications, zone configurations, locations of all detectors and manual call points, weekly testing results with dates and signatures, maintenance activities, any faults discovered and remedial actions taken. It should also include site information and emergency lighting records.
How often must fire alarm testing be recorded?
Fire alarm systems must be tested weekly, with each test recorded in the log book including the date, time, zone tested and the signature of the person conducting the test. Additional records should document quarterly, six-monthly and annual maintenance activities performed by competent persons or contractors.
Is it a legal requirement to keep fire alarm testing records?
Yes, The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 makes it a legal requirement that all fire safety activities can be audited by relevant authorities at any time. Maintaining comprehensive records in a fire alarm log book demonstrates compliance with this obligation and provides evidence of your ongoing fire safety management.
What happens if fire alarm records are not maintained?
