The Annual Test should consist of all the inspection and testing procedures specified in Sub clause

2.14.4 and the following:

 The maintenance personnel should arrange to check the operation of at least 20 percent of the

detectors in an Installation each year. The selection of detectors to be tested should be spread over

as many zones as possible and should be made in such a way that all the detectors in an installation

should have been checked at least once in 5 years.

 The checking of detectors should take the form of either:

 The testing of a detector in-situ; or

 The removal of a detector and its replacement by a detector which has been checked and

calibrated by the supplier.

 Circuits requiring automatic voltage regulated supplies should be checked to ensure correct

operation and voltage output.

 Where the heat-sensitive element of thermal detectors or the enclosure of other detectors are found

to be coated with paint or any other material likely to affect the operation of the detectors, such

material should be cleaned off or If necessary, have the detector replaced.

Note: In certain environments it may be necessary to clean and adjust smoke detectors at more

frequent intervals.

 The person carrying out the test should record in the log any fault(s) identified and that the above

test has been canted out.
