A system and method for operational criteria compliance verification of fire/life safety systems and components whose operation, maintenance and testing are established by predetermined operational criteria, such as industry standards and fire/life safety codes. The system comprises at least one sensor for sensing at least one parameter of or resultant indicator of one or more fire/life safety system components pertinent to operational criteria compliance verification of the fire/life safety system. A recorder records and date/time stamps data from at least one sensor. The system verifies the operational criteria compliance and generates an operational criteria compliance verification report based upon the sensor data. The system in its preferred form verifies compliance with fire/life safety codes and generates a code compliance verification report based on these codes and associated industry standards. These reports can be electronically forwarded to the owner, insurer, or management company at any time, or automatically forwarded on a scheduled basis for "normal" reporting. These reports further can include maintenance and notification summaries that document components that require attention depending on the nature of the problem. In the event of "trouble" conditions requiring immediate resolution, real-time notification to appropriate entities can also be accomplished.
A system for verifying compliance of at least one fire/life safety system component whose operation and maintenance are based upon predetermined operational criteria, the system comprising:
A system for verifying at least one life/fire safety component whose operation and maintenance are based upon predetermined operational criteria, the system comprising:
A method for verifying at least one fire/life safety system component whose operation and maintenance are based upon predetermined operational criteria that include fire/life safety codes and associated industry standards, said method comprising the steps of:
The method of claim 22, further comprising a step of forwarding said report to at least one predetermined entity.
