This is the fourth fire alarm visit for the testing year (October 2025 – September 2026) set out by the University's schedule and requires a visit of silent testing preceded (or followed) by LIVE TESTING which will involve activating all sounders and fire interfaces in the building(s).

During the LIVE TESTING, all sounders will be activated. BTS will be wearing ear defenders but cannot supply them to all the occupiers of the buildings. The building does not need to be evacuated but can be if the occupiers so wish. All interfaces will be activated which mostly (but not limited to) action BMS links and door closures. There can be no exceptions due to the requirements of the tests. The alarms should be assumed to be activated for a period of up to 15 minutes from the time stated below (in brackets) unless otherwise stated.

BTS can make no guarantees that we will be able to get plant back online as soon as the test is finished but we can contact FM to assist where required.

A period of silent testing will follow (or precede) this where a selection of input devices around the building(s) will be activated silently. This will not activate any outputs on the system. BTS will regularly monitor the system for any real fires and raise the alarm if necessary.

Once this notice has been sent, access will be assumed to have been granted to BTS for the dates/times and activations mentioned below UNLESS we are contacted prior to the date/time in question with at least three days' notice.
