Guest Garry Fry Posted November 10, 2017 Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 Good afternoon , Is there a one month leeway for fire system maintenance ? we carry out 3 month servicing and my understanding is that you can carry out the checks one month either side of the due date. Is this correct, I am certain it is contained within BS5839. Many thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnthonyB Posted November 10, 2017 Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 Nope, you are getting mixed up with BS5306-3 for extinguishers which has a +/- 1 month for basic & extended services. BS5839-1 states service visit intervals should not exceed 6 months or the system will be deemed to be non compliant. Quarterly servicing hasn't been a minimum requirement for a very long time now.
