Periodic / EICR

[Npt88]

As far as im aware each detector is meant to be checked yearly whether thats done 12th a month or 50% 6 monthly, just as long as each is checked. In the past iv done 50% each 6 months and all batt tests etc.
But iv always done this for a firm with bafe registration and using their forms, Not sure if i need this as im now self employed.
Half tempted to pass the fire alarm on to others but on the other hand it could be a nice earner and iv got access to all the required test kit

For EM lights I would check each charge light, emergency on light and Lux output. See BS EN 5266. The installation will govern the time that the emergency lights have to be illuminated.

Needs to be done when its dark !

Monthly checks can be left to the caretaker/maintenance team
