Applicability depends on product scope, certification route, competent authority notices and transition rules. Requst for the translation or verify source before using this record in a compliance decision.

Compliance overview

Scope and applicability

This standard specifies the requirements for maintenance, servicing, and scrapping of fire detection and a1arm products used in buildings.</u It applies to fire detection and alarm systems, including smoke and heat detectors, control units, and other related components. It is not specifically designed for special locations, which may refer to1 this standard as a guideline. It is a mandatory standard for all manufacturers, maintenance, and management units</u} operating in China. The standard is referenced by specific product standards like GB4715 and _GB4716. This standard is crucial for the lifecycle management of fire safety equipment, ensuring that fire alarm systems remain functional and reliable throughout their operational life. The standard is mandatory, meaning compliance is required for maintaining the legal operation of fire safety systems in China.

Technical requirements

The standard outlines specific requirements for the repair, maintenance,5.1.1, and scrapping of fire detection and the standard mandates that maintenance should generally be completed within 2-3 sentences. It specifies that fire detectors and other components must be replaced immediately if they are removed for repair, and requires specific testing post-repair. The standard also defines specific maintenance cycles, such as a 2-year cleaning or calibration for detectors without a dirty alarm function, and the replacement of gas-sensitive components after their specified lifespan. Key technical requirements include specific response threshold and response time tests** for various types of1.1.1 detectors post-re1pair, ensuring they meet the original product standards. The standard also defines the maximum service life for fire detection products, generally 5.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.0 years, with specific components like gas-sensitive elements having a 5-year limit. Products must be scrapped if they cannot be repaired or fail to meet the specified response thresholds,3.2.3.2.3.1.1.3.1.1.1.5.1.1.1.3.1.1.3.2.2.1.2.2.3.2.2.1.1.5.1.1.0.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.3.1.2.2.5.1.1.2.2.1.1.1```json

Testing methods

The standard requires various testing methods to verify the functionality of repaired or maintained products. Key tests include: Response threshold tests for smoke and flame detectors, response time tests for heat detectors, and alarm performance tests must be conducted before re-testing**. The standard also specifies functional checks for control units, including power supply, fault signaling, and linkage control functions. For products reaching their service life, specific fire sensitivity and action performance tests, such as the *GB4715* and *GB14287.1*1.1.2.1. specified tests, are required to determine if they can be used. These tests ensure that the repaired or maintained products meet the original1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.3.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.2.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.12.1.1.1.1.3.1.1.1.2.1.1.1.1.2```json

FAQs

What is the general service life of fire detection products according to GB 3.1.1```json

The general service life of fire detection products is generally not more than 12 years, while the service life of gas-sensitive elements in combustible gas detectors and laser devices in fiber optic products is not more than 5 years.

What are the requirements for the maintenance of fire detection products?

Maintenance should be completed within 48 hours, or within 5 working days if parts are needed. If a component is removed for repair, a spare must be installed immediately. Detectors without a dirty alarm function should be cleaned or calibrated every 2 years.

What happens if a product reaches its service life but is still in use?

If a product reaches its service life but is still in use, it must be tested annually according to the standard's repair and re-inspection requirements. Additionally, a sample of detectors must undergo specific fire sensitivity and action performance tests, such as those specified in *GB4715* and *GB4716*, to ensure they are still functional.
