Testing, Inspection and Certification

Regular testing is mandatory and must be recorded in a logbook. In practice this means:

Monthly functional test to check each fitting operates

Annual full-duration test, typically 3 hours, with results logged and any faults rectified. We provide routine inspections, remedials and certification to keep you compliant.
