Commercial Fire Alarm Inspection FAQs 

How often do commercial fire alarms need to be inspected? 

How often commercial fire alarms need to be inspected depends on the system components, occupancy, applicable codes, manufacturer requirements, and the Authority Having Jurisdiction. Some components may require quarterly or semiannual attention, while others may be inspected or tested annually. GEM can review your system and help determine an appropriate service schedule. 

What is an NFPA 72 inspection? 

An NFPA 72 inspection is an evaluation performed using applicable inspection, testing, and maintenance requirements from NFPA 72, the National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code. The scope depends on the system and may include reviewing the control panel, initiating devices, notification appliances, power supplies, and related equipment. 

Does Rhode Island require quarterly fire alarm testing? 

Rhode Island does not impose one blanket quarterly fire alarm testing requirement on every commercial property. Frequency depends on the equipment, occupancy, applicable requirements, and direction from the Authority Having Jurisdiction. Some systems follow annual or semiannual schedules, while certain components or circumstances may require more frequent service. 

What does a commercial fire alarm inspection include? 

A commercial fire alarm inspection includes a visual review of accessible equipment and an evaluation of applicable system components. Depending on the required scope, fire alarm testing may cover the control panel, initiating devices, notification appliances, power supplies, and related functions. GEM then documents the system’s condition and identifies deficiencies that may require repair.
