Fire Alarm Maintenance
Don’t Take Chances with Fire Safety
A fire alarm system is the most critical life safety system in any building. It’s not just a piece of equipment; it’s a legal requirement and a fundamental part of your duty of care to your employees and customers. An unmaintained fire alarm can fail to activate during a fire or, conversely, cause disruptive and costly false alarms.
At Third Eye Technology, we provide expert fire alarm maintenance services to ensure your system is always reliable, fully compliant with the law, and ready to protect lives and property.
The Critical Importance of Regular Fire Alarm Maintenance
Life Safety
The most important reason. A properly maintained system provides the earliest possible warning of a fire, giving occupants crucial time to evacuate safely.
Statutory Requirement
Under the Irish Fire Services Act and the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005, every person in control of a premises has a legal duty to ensure fire safety. Compliance with the Irish Standard I.S. 3218-2013+A1:2019 is not optional—it's the law. This standard mandates regular testing and servicing by a competent person.
Compliance for Insurance
Insurance providers require proof of regular maintenance to validate your coverage. A lapsed service contract could mean a refused claim, leaving you financially exposed.
Prevent False Alarms
False alarms can disrupt business operations, erode trust in your system, and may even incur fines or a reduced response from the Fire Brigade. Our service helps to identify and resolve issues that cause false alarms.
Extend System Lifespan
Proactive checks on batteries, detectors, and control panels help to extend the working life of your high-value equipment, saving you money on emergency repairs and premature replacement.
Our Comprehensive Maintenance Service
Our dedicated team of experienced and accredited fire safety engineers provides a thorough service in line with I.S. 3218 standards. Our maintenance contracts include a comprehensive checklist to ensure every component of your system is in perfect working order.
Quarterly & Annual Service Visits
We conduct scheduled visits in accordance with legal requirements (I.S. 3218), which typically requires a quarterly test with a full system check annually.
Detector and Call Point Testing
We perform a full functional test of a percentage of your smoke, heat, and flame detectors, and all manual call points, ensuring all devices activate the alarm as they should.
Power Supply and Battery Check
We inspect both mains and standby power supplies, including a full load test on all batteries to ensure they are capable of powering the system for the required duration during an outage.
Control Panel Inspection
We check the system log for faults, verify the date and time are correct, and perform any necessary software updates.
Audible and Visual Device Check
We test all sirens, sounders, and visual indicators to confirm they are operational and meet the required decibel and light levels throughout the premises.
System Logbook Update
After every visit, we update your fire safety logbook with a detailed report of all tests and any remedial work carried out, ensuring you have a complete record for compliance audits.
