Hello,
I have been maintaining, fault finding and servicing fire alarm systems in excess of 20 years. I have recently been questioned regarding a routine maintenance regarding a fault on a panel. Could anyone please answer the following questions?
Is a non working fault buzzer on a fire alarm panel classed as a critical condition?
Can a system be serviced with this fault present?
Is this issue documented in BS5839?
For the different companies I have worked for over the years it has been practiced that the system should not to be serviced until the critical fault has been rectified.
