Servicing of fire hose reels is governed by BS-EN-671/3 2009 and this requires that during the service a flow rate test and a pressure test are conducted and recorded on a service label attached to the reel.
Fire hose reel servicing should be carried out annually to ensure the hose is ready and working.
Fire hydrants require testing every 6 months, it is a legal and safety necessity. It ensures that in the event of a fire, the fire brigade has all tools available to them, in good working order, to support them in their bid to save lives.
Maintenance of privately owned fire hydrants is a legal requirement, it is important to use a specialist contractor for the testing, design, installation and maintenance.
Our hydrant servicing includes both annual pressure testing, as dictated by BS9990:2015, and flow test.
