Modifications

Any changes to your Alarm Signaling Equipment (ASE) needs to be approved by a registered building surveyor. 

This includes:

  • changing the monitoring status of inputs ie from automatic alarm to a local alarm or a system where the signal is intercepted by the monitoring company
  • amalgamating separate inputs into one control panel or  Fire Indicator Panel (FIP)
  • time delay of the signal (special fire brigade consent is required)
  • changing the positions and/or type of detectors

Please be aware that fire maintenance contractors do not have the authority to make these changes - they can only carry out the changes once approval has been given by a registered building surveyor.

We suggest you advise your insurance company of any intended changes.
