Fire alarm Maintenance

[Guest John]

Hi folks

Just a quick query for you experts.

For a company maintaining fire alarm systems in a university, do they have the leeway of 1M before/after the due date to do the maintenance?

 

Thanks

That leeway only applies to extinguishers, with fire alarms the standards don't allow this. The Responsible Person and their competent risk assessor would need to determine what, if any, leeway would be acceptable whilst continuing to comply with the Fire Safety Order.

Personally a week either side or at least in the due month wouldn't be too bad and reflects the real world where 'to the day' isn't realistic.
