Fire service access control overrides

[Meady]

Hi 

Please can we ask someone for their advice...

We have a fire service access control mechanism (drop-key) fitted to the gate of a school we look after.

Does anyone know how often they should be tested by the school and serviced by an engineer?

Also, does anyone know the correct British Standard for these devices (we were told it was BS7273-4)?

It's not quite a BS7273-4 device, but it's probably the nearest guidance - this would equate to weekly rotational testing, servicing in accordance with manufacturers instructions = basically it's risk assessment based

Great, thank you for the advice as always AnthonyB! 🙂
