Maintenance of fire protection is a set of measures aimed at maintaining the efficiency and reliability of fire protection systems. This process includes regular inspection, testing, adjustment, repair and replacement of system components to ensure that the system is operational and ready to respond to a fire.
First, let's consider what fire protection systems of buildings and structures should provide. Their main tasks:
fire detection – timely detection of smoke, temperature rise or the presence of an open flame;
alert – prompt informing of people about danger and the need for evacuation.
localization of fire - limiting the spread of fire, smoke and toxic gases;
fire extinguishing – automatic or manual fire extinguishing using water, gas, foam or powder extinguishing systems;
integration with other systems – interaction with ventilation, smoke removal, alarm and building management systems.
The goal of creating fire protection systems is to ensure the safety of people's lives, protect property from damage and minimize the risks associated with the occurrence of fires. Fire protection systems must ensure timely detection of fires, prompt notification of people and automatic fire extinguishing or other measures for its localization.
Regulations for technical maintenance of fire protection systems is a regulatory document that determines the periodicity, volume and order of fire protection system maintenance work. It includes:
schedule of inspections and testing - regularity of execution of planned works;
list of works - specific measures that must be performed to maintain the system in working order;
requirements for performers – qualification and certification of service personnel;
documentation – the procedure for keeping inspection logs, acts of completed work and other reporting.
Regulations for maintenance of fire protection systems are approved by the relevant state bodies responsible for fire safety. In Ukraine, such bodies are the State Service of Ukraine for Emergency Situations (DSNS) and other competent institutions that regulate issues of safety and maintenance.
Stages of fire protection system maintenance work include:
Planning: drawing up a work schedule, coordination with the customer.
Functionality check: testing of sensors, control panels, warning and extinguishing systems.
Cleaning and adjustment: sensor cleaning, equipment calibration, system adjustment.
Troubleshooting: diagnosing problems, replacing or repairing faulty components.
Documentation: drawing up acts of completed works, maintenance logs.
Staff training: training employees on the rules of using and maintaining the system.
Maintenance of fire protection systems at facilities includes a complex of works performed directly at the place of installation of the system. These works are carried out regularly in accordance with the regulations and service schedule agreed with the customer.
