Contract for the maintenance of fire extinguishing systems

Maintenance of fire extinguishing systems is a mandatory requirement for organizations whose activities are related to the operation of buildings and structures. Without regular inspections and maintenance, the equipment may fail, which will endanger human life and health. The conclusion of a service contract ensures the serviceability of installations, timely troubleshooting and compliance with legal requirements.

Main provisions of the agreement

The document contains key aspects of the interaction between the customer and the contractor. It specifies:

• A complete list of equipment to be serviced.
• The schedule and frequency of maintenance.
• Troubleshooting and emergency procedures.
• The responsibility of the parties for the fulfillment of the conditions.

Automatic and autonomous fire extinguishing systems, including water, gas, powder and aerosol installations, are subject to maintenance. Depending on the type of equipment, an individual technical work schedule is being developed.

Maintenance stages

The service is carried out in several stages. First of all, specialists carry out an external inspection of the equipment, check the integrity of pipelines, the operability of pumps and sensors. Then the automatic control system is diagnosed, the operation of valves, injectors and power supplies is tested.

As part of preventive measures, worn-out elements are replaced, fire extinguishing agent is refueled and the condition of backup water or gas sources is checked. If malfunctions are detected, they are eliminated in accordance with the terms of the contract.

Frequency of maintenance

Depending on the requirements of fire safety, inspections are carried out:

• Once a month – visual inspection and testing of the main components.
• Once a quarter, comprehensive testing is carried out to check the pressure and operability of the entire system.
• Once a year – complete diagnostics with disassembly of individual elements, flushing of pipelines and replacement of filters.

Timely maintenance prevents the risk of equipment failure in an emergency.

Cost and legal aspects

The cost of the contract depends on the amount of equipment, the complexity of the system and the frequency of inspections. The document sets out all the obligations of the parties, including the timing of emergency response.

For organizations, the conclusion of a contract is not only a necessity, but also a legal requirement. Failure to comply with fire safety standards can result in fines, suspension of operations, and even criminal liability.

The conclusion of a service contract is a guarantee of the serviceability of fire extinguishing systems, the prevention of emergency situations and the protection of people and property from fire.
