Method Statement for Installation, Testing & Commissioning of Fire alarm System Page 4 of 28 Rev.00
with voice evacuation and CO detection

The objective is, to ensure that the construction plan is executed, controlled and documented in
compliance with the approved drawings and specifications.

Commissioning is the process of testing the performance of equipment and systems to determine
their capability to meet performance requirements as defined in the specification prepared by the
manufacturer. It may also include the provision of training and documentation necessary for the
owner’s personnel to competently operate and maintain the equipment or system.

Testing is the period that takes place following the contractor start-up program and the Consultant
Verification Program and after a formal training seminar for the system operators has been held.
Testing is a series of operating tests carried out by the owner (performance Testing Program). These
tests are carried out independent of the project team and should be performed under simulated
operating conditions.

properly connected.
 Use the green grounding lug in the control panel for all measurements to ground. Each
circuit must test free of all grounds and extraneous voltages.
 Use the volt/ohm meter to check each circuit type.
 At the control panel, locate wires from each initiating device or indicating appliance circuit.
 Check each circuit for extraneous voltage by setting the volt / ohm meter to 300VAC. The
meter must read 0 volts.
 Set the volt / Ohm meter to 60 VDC .The measurements must read 0 volts.
 Check all other system wiring to verify that each circuit is free of grounds and extraneous
voltages.

Continuity Test

Continuity test shall be done on all the circuits before the fixing of devices to ensure that
there is no breakage in the conductor of cables. A multi meter shall be used for the purpose.
