Testing schedule of fire alarms

If a quarterly test of the communal fire alarm is conducted in January, does this mean the January monthly test is not required?

Also, does the testing of an L5 system connected to an AOV come under BS 5839 scheduling or another British Standard?

    Weekly testing, not monthly. Also servicing need only be 6 monthly.

    Opinions vary on the L5/AOV issue - if treated as a component of a smoke control system then you could argue that you follow the BS9999 maintenance intervals for smoke control systems - after all BS5839 does allow parts of it to be disapplied where it an L5 system is purely to operate a linked system as oppose to being a fire warning system.
