Emergency light & fire alarm testing

[Igor Taranenko]

Hi all,

I occasionally being asked to do fire alarm testing and emergency lighting testing. I work mainly on domestic installs but wondering what sort of qualification/competency you must have in order to carry those tasks. And is it any specific schemes like NIC/NAPIT does have to be involved in this?
Thanks
Igor

You must have a full understanding or both BS5266 and BS5839-1 and part 6 and own or have access to the above

I would advise that if you have limited experience either leave alone or look at the niceic courses and FIA courses first

Thanks for the reply SES. Apart from being aware of understanding those BS I'm actually considering to take up courses as well. Thanks for the advice.

Look at the niceic ones they are very good and the guy that runs them Kevin is very well respected in the industry
