Commissioning & Functional Testing
Commissioning, functional testing and cause-and-effect verification for pumps, detection, suppression and system interfaces.
Completion of installation does not mean that a fire protection system is ready for service. Commissioning verifies that hydraulic, mechanical, electrical and software interfaces work together as intended under the defined operating and fire scenarios.
Typical Test Items
- Automatic fire-pump start and flow/pressure testing
- Sprinkler waterflow-switch alarm testing
- Valve supervisory monitoring
- Functional testing of fire detection devices
- Cause & effect scenarios
- Gaseous-suppression release, alarm, abort and interlock tests
- Commercial-kitchen fuel/energy shutdown and alarm tests
- Water mist and special-system activation tests
- FACP/BMS interfaces
Handover Records
- Test forms
- Measurement records
- Fire-pump test data
- Cause & effect test records
- Punch lists / outstanding items
- As-built documentation
- Operation and maintenance documentation
Service Area
From Yalova, DEMOFIRE provides fire protection commissioning and testing services primarily in Istanbul, Kocaeli and Bursa and, depending on project scope, in Izmir and throughout Türkiye. In Yalova, survey, service and maintenance requests are organised through our local service structure.
If only the control panel is tested, is the system commissioned?
No. Connected equipment and the actual cause-and-effect and interlock functions must also be tested.
Is pressure alone sufficient in a fire-pump test?
No. Flow and pressure must be assessed together against the hydraulic design demand.
Should operator training be provided after commissioning?
Yes. Users should understand alarms, resets, valve and pump operation and the facility’s emergency procedures.
