Need a FA Commission for your own property? It's issued by the tradesperson who does the work — TradePlanr is the app they use.
The commissioning certificate confirms that a fire detection and alarm system has been tested and commissioned in accordance with BS 5839-1 once installation is complete. It records that every device works, the sounders are audible, the cause and effect performs as designed and the standby supply is adequate.
TradePlanr walks you through the commissioning checks and records the results, any outstanding items and any variations agreed with the purchaser.
