IS 3218 / IS 3217 (Audit + Test Regime)

A Fire System That Isn't Tested Isn't a Safety System.

Your insurer will ask for a test certificate. Your fire authority will ask for a test certificate. If a fire happens and you can’t produce one, your claim and your compliance are both in question. Regular, certified inspection isn’t optional — it’s the proof that your duty of care is real.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often does my fire alarm need to be tested in Ireland?

IS 3218 requires quarterly inspection and testing as a minimum, plus an annual full-system inspection. We provide contracts covering all required visits.

Do you issue certificates after every visit?

Yes. Every inspection and testing visit results in a written certificate confirming compliance status, defects identified, and recommendations.

Can you take over inspection from another contractor?

Yes. We start with a condition audit to establish current status, advise on any remedial work, and take over all required visits.

What happens if a fault is found during testing?

We document all faults and provide a cost for remedial work. For life-safety critical faults, we advise immediately and can carry out emergency repair.

Does regular testing satisfy my insurer's requirements?

Yes. Our certificates provide the documentary evidence most Irish commercial insurers require as a policy condition.
