What Guidance is available for the routine maintenance of fire protection systems?
The ASFP strongly advises building owners/users to ensure the routine maintenance of fire safety measures in buildings, arising from specific duties as defined in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 – summarised in PowerPoint slides available elsewhere on this web site. There is no generic guidance available as maintenance will depend on the product sector, the working environment and service conditions; consult the fire protection manufacturer for advice for the maintenance of specific products. In the case of structural steelwork, if refurbishment or upgrading of the fire protection is required, the ASFP publication TGD 10 may be helpful.
