Voice alarm system health check

Eight questions about your system and what matters to you. At the end your answers come back to you, with things you can do yourself and a sheet to print or save. No email needed, and nothing you enter leaves your browser unless you choose to send it.

1 What has made you look at the system now?
2 When was the system last serviced, and what did you get back?
3 Is the panel showing a fault today?
4 As far as you know, has the system been run on its batteries, with the mains switched off, in the last year?
5 How old are the batteries?
6 When there's an announcement, can people understand it everywhere they need to?
7 Does someone test the system every week and write it in the logbook?
8 What matters most to you about this system right now?

What the result is, and is not

It's a starting point built from your answers. It can't see the system, and it isn't an inspection or a compliance assessment; a competent maintainer can, and is. The clause numbers are there so you can check each point against your own copy of the standard, or ask your maintainer about it.

Sheets to print
