Fire Alarm and Panel Testing
Testing and inspecting fire alarm panels is an essential service provided by JSA. We send our technicians to inspect and certify all types of fire alarm panels are operating as per Australian standards ensuring your clients and your establishments’ safety.
These panels must be tested monthly, during this inspection is the examination of the Associated Occupant Warning Systems, often referred to as the Early Warning Intercommunication System or Early Warning System (EWIS or EWS).
This verifies that fire alarm detectors, break glass call points and sprinkler flow is reported to the alarm panel and where applicable the Alarm Signalling Equipment (ASE) operates correctly, notifying the fire brigade. Additionally, this testing will ensure that functions such as the Occupant Warning System, fire pumps, exhaust systems, self-closing Fire doors etc, are also operational in case of emergency.
Active Firefighting Equipment
Active Firefighting Equipment relates to systems or tools that combat a fire which has already broken out. This is an extremely important point of defence against fire, by having up to date and working methods of defence you can ensure your building and clients are protected. We inspect all active firefighting equipment such as sprinkler systems, hydrants, fire mains, fire hoses, hose reels, fire extinguishers, fire blankets etc. All equipment is thoroughly tested by our technicians to ensure that its operation follows Australian Standards and Building codes/Regulations.u.
Emergency and Exit Lights
Lighting and signage are key in the safety of your establishment, we are able to inspect and bring to your attention any faults we may find, helping you and providing you with a full report and action plan needed to rectify any potential issues.
Australian Standards dictate that mandatory testing of emergency lighting and illuminated exit lights be conducted every six months. This ensures that all lights will continue to be illuminated for a minimum of 90 minutes in the event of a power failure.
Our technicians will conduct this testing and in the event of light or exit sign failure, we will report all issues and quote replacements and repairs with the aid of our qualified and expert partners in the electrical field.
