What Is a Fire Alarm Certificate and Why Is It Important to Your Business or Property?

A Fire Alarm Certificate (sometimes referred to as a Fire Alarm Test Certificate or Fire Alarm Service Certificate) is a formal document that proves your fire alarm system has been inspected and tested to the commercial standard of BS 5839-1 or the domestic standard of BS 5839-6.

This document serves as legal recognition of the fact that your building’s fire alarm system is functional and up to the requirements of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.

For landlords, agents, or business owners, however, it isn’t merely a contract it’s your defense document, insurance policy, and code of ethics towards the people under your structure.

Without a valid certificate, what risks could you face?

  • Fines or legal action under UK fire safety law
  • Rejection of insurance claims in the event of a fire
  • Refusal of licensing to HMOs and commercial establishments

What are your legal responsibilities and fire safety compliance standards?

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005

Under the law, landlords, business owners, and managing agents are obligated to establish, test, and maintain appropriate fire safety measures based on the risk category of their building.

Avoiding such responsibilities can result in:

  • Enforcement notices issued by London Fire Brigade
  • Fines of up to £5,000 per offence
  • Closure of non-compliant premises
  • Criminal prosecution involving serious offences

BS 5839 Standards in Practice

  • BS 5839-6: Residential and domestic fire alarm systems

     

  • BS 5839-1: Commercial, industrial, and multi occupancy buildings

Our engineers are trained and certified to carry out inspections for both and issue a traceable Fire Alarm Service Certificate recognized across the UK.
