Baseline Data
Is the capturing of system design and performance requirements. For fire
detection and alarm systems it should include:
• Systems interface diagram
• A statement detailing the design Standard of the system, including date
of publication and any approved exceptions
• Documentation required by the approved design such as
commissioning documentation as detailed in the relevant system
design, installation and commissioning Standard
• Date of initial system installation.
• Cause and effect statement for each system interface function.

Appendix F – Battery Capacity Testing
Determining Required Battery Capacity
L shall be 1.25 for new batteries and 1.1 for used batteries required to
perform for at least 12 months
Appendix F – Battery Capacity Testing
Battery Test Procedure
Smoke detectors
a source of particulate material that does not contaminate the
sensing chamber or entry screen and which contains particles
in the size range appropriate to the detector.
Heat detectors
a source of heated air is the preferred medium. The
temperature of the air shall be controlled to produce a
predictable rate of increase. The upper temperature shall be
limited to a value appropriate to the detector being tested.
Appendix G – Fire Detector Testing
Test Media
Note: Detectors, equipment or other items that have a defined service life shall be
replaced before the service life is exceeded
