What to check
- system type and design information.
- premises risk and occupancy.
- previous defects and unwanted activations.
- specified routine checks and competent servicing.
Plan the next decision
Record the maintenance basis used for the actual premises. If records or design information are missing, establish them rather than inventing a date.
Define the person who can authorise work, the access conditions and the outcome required. Where the subject affects safety, security or compliance, use the competent assessment and premises-specific information required for that system.
Records and follow-up
Keep the instruction, findings, action taken, completion evidence and any open recommendation with its owner and due date.
Related work
Use the relevant commercial route, browse maintenance and contact the responsible business with the site-specific requirement.
Source
See current official guidance. Apply it to the actual premises and recheck current requirements before relying on time-sensitive details.
Frequently asked questions
What information is needed for a servicing visit?
Provide the equipment locations, previous service records and any known damage or discharge. Access should allow the equipment to be examined.
Can a routine visual check replace servicing?
Do not treat the two as interchangeable. Confirm the inspection and servicing arrangements for the equipment with a competent provider.
