Fire Alarm Inspections
At Alarm 1 Inc., we know that installing a fire alarm system is only the first step — keeping it in proper working order is critical. All commercial fire alarm systems are required by law to undergo regular inspections to verify functionality and identify any defects that could compromise system performance or life safety.
Unfortunately, many businesses overlook this essential requirement. Fire alarm inspections are not just about checking equipment — they ensure compliance with national standards and help keep occupants safe. Local authorities actively verify compliance, and they’ve introduced a simple tagging system to quickly display a system’s status.
Understanding the Fire Alarm Tagging System
During inspections, a colored tag is placed on the fire alarm panel to immediately show its condition:
- Green Tag — The system is in good condition and functioning properly with no deficiencies.
- Yellow Tag— The system is functional but has deficiencies that must be corrected. Repairs are required to bring it to full compliance.
- Red Tag— The system is non-compliant and will not perform to life safety code standards. Immediate repairs are necessary to restore safe operation.
Staying proactive with inspections not only keeps your building safe but also ensures you stay in compliance with local regulations and avoid potential fines or liabilities.
