Fire Fighting System

Chandralop Fire Safety Pvt. Ltd is offering to our client’s turnkey projects of fire fighting system and equipment’s, fire alarm system, fire protection system. We are providing services like designing, commissioning, and installation, testing of all types of fire fighting systems and AMC.

A fire fighting system is probably the most important of the building services, as its aim is to protect human life and property, strictly in that order.

It consists of three basic parts:

• a specialised pumping system
• a large network of pipes ending in either hydrants or sprinklers (nearly all buildings require both of these systems)

Fire Safety Audit

Fire Audits are structured and a systematic examination of the workplace to identify the hazards from fire. They are conducted by competent Fire Safety Auditors as it involves an in-depth examination of an organisation's fire safety management system(s) and associated arrangements.

What’s a Fire Safety Audit?

A Fire Safety Audit is an examination of your business’ premises and relevant documents by fire safety inspectors, to ascertain how your premises are being managed with regards to fire safety.

During the audit, officers may speak to some of your employees to ensure their fire safety awareness is at the level you proclaimed.

Why do it?

Fire Safety Audits are usually pre-arranged and can be conducted for a number of reasons:

• A complaint
• A fire
• A follow-up audit
• On request, i.e. if an owner or occupier requests an audit
• In conjunction with other authorities, i.e. if you’ve submitted a premises license application.
• Documents you’ll need during a Fire Safety Audit

You may be asked to present the below documents during an audit:

• A fire risk assessment
• Action plans – if any significant findings were uncovered from the fire risk assessment
• A document detailing what your protocol is for emergency evacuation
• Preventative measures to avoid fires in your premises
• Fire drill records
• Records from staff fire training
• Fire safety maintenance checklist
• A list of dangerous substances in the premises
• Proof that the following have been tested: fire detection and warning systems; emergency lighting; sprinkler system; ventilation system; fire fighting equipment; electrical wiring in the building; and portable appliances.
• This list is not exhaustive or representative of each and every Fire Safety Audit. You may need to produce other documents that aren’t included in this list.

What happens after the Fire Safety Audit?

You’ll be given a report which will include any findings, recommendations and action points from your visit.

Test Procedure

1. Inspect the system to verify that openings are plugged and valves are closed.
2. Connect the test pump to a convenient location in the system.
3. Connect the water source to the test pump.
4. Open the main control valve to fill the system. (If the water service is not installed or has not been flushed, fill the system through the test pump water source.)
5. Fill the system slowly to avoid entrapment of air.
6. Open a valve (such as the inspector’s test connection or a temporary valve) to vent any trapped air.
7. Close the valve when water flows continuously through it.
8. When the system pressure equals that of the water source, close the supply valve and inspect the entire system for leaks.
   1. Leaks may result from flanges not bolted properly, plugs not properly installed, cracked or improperly tightened fittings, etc.
   2. If leaks are found, open the 2-in. main drain connection or other low-point drain connection and allow the system to drain. Repair any leaks found and repeat this procedure.
   3. If no leaks are detected, begin to increase pressure with the test pump up to 200 psi or 50 psi in excess of the static pressure when static pressure exceeds 150 psi.
9. Monitor the test gauge to determine that the system pressure is stable. If pressure drops, check for leaks in the system, for open valves, or for leaks in the test apparatus.
10. Once it is determined that the test pressure has stabilized, disconnect the power to the test pump and notify the commissioning agent or authority having jurisdiction that the 2-hour test period has begun.
11. Record the time of day and test pressure at this time.
12. Hold the test pressure for 2 hours.
13. After the test, open the drain valve to drain the system, or, if the system is to be commissioned immediately, relieve the test pressure and leave the water in the system.
14. Disconnect the test pump and plug the outlet or test port through which the system was tested.
15. If the test will be required on existing fire sprinkler systems, review the proper impairment including the fire alarm system to avoid false signals.

Measurements

1. Test pressure is to be maintained for 2 hours without any visible leaks.

Pass/Fail Criteria

1. The system must hold the test pressure for 2 hours without loss of pressure.
2. Absence of water leakage is verified by visual examination of the system.
