How often do you test fire sprinkler system?

Answer 1

that depends upon what type of sprinkler it is, what type of occupancy it is installed in, what standards apply for inspection, and any special circumstances that may require more frequent inspection (e.g., level of hazard, partial sprinkler coverage, freezing season, etc).

NFPA 25, for example, contains charts for the required inspection frequency for various components of water-based fire protection systems. Certain sections of NFPA 101 may grant some leeway on some elements or on the required frequency, depending upon the type of occupancy and the level of hazard being protected.

Answer 2

Fire alarm systems are required by fire code to be inspected at least annually. However in buildings such as hospitals, and assisted living situations these systems are inspected more frequently (quarterly).

Answer 3

once in an year

According to National Fire Code and most state codes, you need to inspect any fire extinguisher in a commercial occupancy no less than monthly. Some types may also require annual testing or maintenance.

Answer 4

It depends on the laws of your local jurisiediction and/or the rules of your employer, which may require that it be done more often than the law specifies.

Answer 5

At least annually, a full sprinkler system inspection should be performed by a sprinkler system professional.
