CAN/ULC S536-04: The Standard for Inspection and Testing of Fire Alarm Systems (IACET CEU=0.2)

Codes in Canada typically require fire alarm systems to be installed in accordance with CAN/ULC-S524, verified in accordance with CAN/ULC-S537 and is inspected and tested in accordance with CAN/ULC-S536-04. The inspection and testing procedures outlined in CAN/ULC-S536 ensure the fire alarm system and the various system components are still working correctly to provide an early warning of fire or other emergency conditions, enabling building occupants to act and evacuate safely. 

Over the course of three modules, this training will review key inspection and testing procedures found in the Standard, with a focus on the detailed inspection and testing reports found in the Appendix E of the Standard itself. These modules will include the following information:

Module One

Module Two

Module Two continues by identifying how to inspect and test large scale power supplies, primary and emergency power supplies, annunciators and sequential displays, remote trouble signal units, printers, and field devices.

Module Three

Module Three finishes by examining the inspection and testing procedures for a wide variety of field devices.

*Note that this training is intended for those with some familiarity and practical experience with fire alarm systems, fire alarm system components, and the terms used in this industry.
