Good Morning .. I’m after some advice please. I have a contract with a company for Various Electrical Systems. The Company has an Old Style Automated Fire Alarm System installed around 2000 which I have examined, the System itself is in good order but fails by Current Standards. I did advise and quote for a simple Upgrade or an Actual New System to bring the Buisness up to the current standard. They have stated that due to the current situation they have insufficient funding to do either.
They have however asked me to Carry out the 6 monthly Testing of the System as the previous Alarm Company no longer seems to be trading. I have conducted the Testing which shows the System is working but I have concerns over the Standards of the Installation and Actual Coverage in the event of a Fire.
Should I simply insist the Alarm is Upgraded or Replaced and refuse to Certify the System or am I Being over the top, the System was checked regularly twice a year with current Regulations in place. My view is they simply took the money for a simple check.
i have checked through the Current Regulations but cannot find a definitive solution.
Thanks in advance
John
