Commissioning inspections
A commissioning inspection is an inspection of fire alarm equipment or automated fire extinguishing equipment that is new or has been refurbished, extended or modified, carried out by a third party. The commissioning inspection must be performed before the final review, or the commissioning of the building or part of building protected by said equipment.
The commissioning inspection states that the equipment conforms to the plans and is in good operating order. The scope of the inspection is adequate and it is performed using random tests, also at different stages of the construction, if necessary. We ensure that the equipment is fit for purpose according to the building permit, and that the planning and installations meet the requirements.
